Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) - the process of dialysis is done while the patient goes about his/her normal daily activities.Outpatient dialysis.

There are two methods of dialysis in use: hemodialysis (blood dialysis) and peritoneal dialysis (dialysis in the abdominal cavity). In hemodialysis, the dialysis membrane is made up of cellophane or other synthetic material that assists in the removal of impurities from the blood by their passage through these semipermeable membranes in a fluid bath. In peritoneal dialysis, the surface area of the peritoneum acts as the membrane. Dialysis fluid is introduced into the peritoneal cavity and then periodically removed along with the waste products. This procedure may be done at intervals throughout the day or during the night.
Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis
Patients with severe active colitis, extremely dilated colon (toxic megacolon), or severely inflamed bowel may not be candidates for colonoscopy. Patients requiring continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Yes. If the motivation is there, nothing should stop an ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient from furthering their studies.
"Handbook of Peritoneal Dialysis".....available on Amazon.com is a good reference
When comparing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, it can be said that
hemodialysis takes longer than peritoneal dialysis
