Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD): the solution stays in your belly for 4-6 hours then you drain the solution, put new solution in and you need to change it about 4 times a day, this is the most common form Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD): A machine automatically drains and refills your belly the process takes about 10-12 hours so you can do this process while your sleeping at night

# data[].attributes.body
the process is called exchange and you :will do 4-6 exchanges following these steps

Fill: Dialysis fluid enters your peritoneal cavity (Links to an external site.).

Dwell: While the fluid is in your peritoneal cavity, extra fluid and waste travel across the peritoneal membrane into the dialysis fluid.

Drain: After a few hours, the dialysis fluid is drained and replaced with new fluid

Remove wastes, such as urea (Links to an external site.), from the blood.

Restore the proper balance of electrolytes (Links to an external site.) in the blood.

Eliminate extra fluid from the body.

There are different types of Hemodialysis:

# data[].attributes.body

In center hemodialysis: you go to a hospital or a dialysis center

Home hemodialysis: after you get trained you do your dialysis at home, done 3 days a week

Does not reverse the chronic kidney disease or kidney failure
