| Peritoneal dialysis: Technique that uses the patient´s own body tissues inside of the belly (abdominal cavity) to act as a filter. The intestines lie in the abdominal cavity, the space between the abdominal wall and the spine. A plastic tube called a "dialysis catheter " is placed through the abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity. A special fluid is then flushed into the abdominal cavity and washes around the intestines. The intestinal walls act as a filter between this fluid and the blood stream. By using different types of solutions, waste products and excess water can be removed from the body through this process. Peritoneal dialysis represents solute and fluid exchange between peritoneal capillary blood and dialysis solution in the peritoneal cavity across the peritoneal ´membrane´, which consists of a vascular wall , the interstitium, the mesothelium, and adjacent fluid films The basic principle of dialysis is the separation of substances in solution by their varying diffusion down a concentration gradient, through a semipermeable membrane. In addition, some solute is removed, by convection or solvent drag. In Peritoneal dialysis (PD), the peritoneum is used as the porous membrane |

| The mode of renal replacement therapy (RRT) is an important determinant of survival, with poorer survival with patients on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared to patients after kidney transplantation (Tx). |
