Hemodialysis vs Peritoneal Dialysis

So which treatment is right for you when comparing hemodialysis vs peritoneal dialysis? Peritoneal dialysis offers continuous filtration and does not require as much disruption to your daily activities. However, hemodialysis is ideal for patients with less kidney function. Peritoneal dialysis is not a good option for obese patients or people who have abdominal scarring. Hemodialysis may be preferred by patients who want healthcare professionals to handle more of their treatments because peritoneal dialysis requires patient training and dedication.

Only you and your doctor can make the decision about which type of dialysis is best for you. Factors that will influence your treatment options include:

Your kidney function
Your overall health
What you’re home situation is
Your lifestyle
Your personal preferences
Your ability to perform the steps necessary for each type of dialysis
