Peritoneal dialysis helps remove waste products from the blood when kidneys cannot do the job correctly. Peritoneal dialysis is dialysis where the peritoneum in the abdomen is used as a membrane to exchange fluid and dissolved substances with blood. This dialysis is used to remove high fluid in the body, manage electrolyte problems and remove toxins in the case of kidney failure. This dialysis works differently for filtering blood when compared with hemodialysis.

Weakened immune systems raise the possibility of microbial contamination, which makes all dialysis treatments carry a certain risk of infection.
