Peritoneal Dialysis Slide Show
Learn about Peritoneal Dialysis:
Dialysis removes waste and balances the electrolyte and fluid level of the blood. These tasks are usually performed by the kidneys. However, when the kidneys can no longer do their job sufficiently, or when are removed, dialysis is an artificial way to mimic their function.
