Why is peritoneal dialysis is becoming more use from web?
Peritoneal dialysis uses a membrane inside your body (peritoneal membrane) as a filter to clear wastes and extra fluid from your body and to return electrolyte levels to normal. Unlike in center hemodialysis, you do not need to travel to a dialysis center for your treatment. Instead, after being trained at a dialysis center, you will do your treatment at home on your own schedule. Peritoneal dialysis can often be done at night, while you are sleeping. You will need to have a catheter placed in your belly (dialysis access) before you begin dialysis. Placement is usually done 10 to 14 days before dialysis starts. Some peritoneal dialysis catheters may be used immediately (acute-use catheters). But because of a high risk of complications, these catheters are not commonly used. - Hopefully that answers your question! -
Do you need dialysis if your liver is bad?
Dialysis is for kidney failure. It takes over the job for many of the kidney functions, and cleans the blood from build up of waste when you can't remove the fluid yourself through urination. The kidneys direct the body to replace your red blood cells, and regulates the storage of Vitamin D. Protein is hard on kidneys that are failing, so a special diet is usually recommended. Once you are on dialysis, you will need more protein again. Dialysis is typically done 3 times a week and for about 4 hours per session. You can go to a dialysis center, or if you are able to manage it, use a dialysis machine at home. There is a type of dialysis that uses your own body to circulate the fluids that draw out the waste, called Peritoneal Dialysis.

How long does a dialysis treatment usually last?
Dialysis is not considered until the kidney disease is advanced. Kidney disease is largely preventable, by keeping blood sugar and blood pressure normal. The length of time a person requires dialysis depends on the condition being treated, and the viability of the kidneys. If the renal failure is temporary, dialysis could be short term, giving the kidneys a chance to rest and recover. If the patient is suffering from a progressive disorder, dialysis will last until the kidney is replaced.
