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! -

Dialysis is warranted depending upon the level of kidney function. A blood test that reflects the level of creatine (a waste product of cellular functions) in the blood. If the level of Creatine is too high, it means that the kidneys have either had a pathological partial or full failure and waste products that are usually 'filtered' out of the blood into the urine (from the kidneys to the bladder before it is expelled). Dialysis is a treatment that takes the patient's blood and pumps it through very fine filters to remove the cellular waste products from the blood and therefore prevent a general shutdown of the kidneys and later the whole body.
