The Peritoneal Dialysis Program at The Kidney Institute of Naples is designed to offer a simple and effective home dialysis.  The goal is to provide appropriate information, skills, and techniques for the patients themselves to be able to perform dialysis safely and effectively.

What is peritoneal Dialysis (PD)?

Peritoneal dialysis uses a filter to clean the blood and remove excess fluids. With PD, the blood is cleansed inside the body using one of the body's own membranes, the peritoneum, as the filter.  PD is performed primarily as a home therapy.

Types of Peritoneal Dialysis Methods Available:

* CAPD (Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis).

* CCPD (Continuous cycler peritoneal dialysis).

Who can do Peritoneal Dialysis?

* Almost any patient who needs chronic dialysis and is willing to play a responsible role in his/her total care can do peritoneal dialysis.  The methods for providing this type of dialysis are such that most people, including children and the elderly, can have safe and effective dialysis at home.
