will vary based on your individual needs
and you'll receive a monthly checkup at

a dialysis clinic to see how you're
doing there are two types of peritoneal

39
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:39,450
dialysis the first type of PD is called
continuous ambulatory peritoneal

40
00:03:39,450 --> 00:03:46,530
dialysis or CA PD dialysis is done
manually three to five times a day with

41
00:03:46,530 --> 00:03:51,020
each fluid exchange session taking only
twenty to thirty minutes

42
00:03:51,020 --> 00:03:56,070
since you're not attached to a machine
treatments can be done in almost any

43
00:03:56,070 --> 00:04:01,820
clean environment at home at work or
even while traveling

PD or CCPD because it uses a machine

called a cycler to perform dialysis with
