Can a patient with a colostomy have continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis?
Yes, a patient with a colostomy can have continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), but careful consideration is needed. The presence of a colostomy may complicate the dialysis process due to potential challenges with fluid management and infection risk. It is essential for healthcare providers to assess the patient's overall health, the function of their colostomy, and any potential complications before initiating CAPD. Collaboration between nephrologists and surgeons is crucial to ensure the patient's safety and effectiveness of the dialysis treatment.

What are two types of 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.
What kind of people can't get colonoscopies?
