Peritoneal dialysis is a common dialysis method for the patients with Uremia. The patients on peritoneal dialysis do not need building vascular access or extracorporeal circulation. Therefore, it has less damage to the patients. Peritoneal dialysis is appropriate to the following patients groups.

1. Children and students

Hemodialysis needs to build vascular access and also the patients have to go to dialysis center 2~3 times a week. It can take much time and may influence the study. Peritoneal dialysis can be done at home. Moreover, peritoneal dialysis do not cause burden to heart and blood vessels and also has less side effects on their growth. Therefore, peritoneal dialysis is suitable for children and students.

The elderly patients and those patients who have difficult in building arteriovenous fistula should choose peritoneal dialysis. In addition, peritoneal dialysis has less influence on heart and blood vessels so it does not cause complications such as headache, hypotension or cramp and so on.

3. The patients with cardiovascular diseases

As peritoneal dialysis does not need arteriovenous fistula or extracorporeal circulation, it does not cause the change of haemodynamics and does not cause burden to blood vessels. Therefore, peritoneal dialysis is a good choice for the patients with high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.

4. The patients with Renal Failure due to Diabetes

When the patients with Renal Failure caused by Diabetes undergo peritoneal dialysis, the patients can be given insulin through dialysis fluid. This drug delivery patches accord with our physiological characteristics. Therefore, it is not easy for the patients to have insulin resistance.

However, peritoneal dialysis also can cause a series of complications such as skin itching, peritonitis and so on. What's worse, once the patients start dialysis, it is very hard for them to get rid of it. Therefore, if possible, the patients should choose a better treatment method as early as possible so as to avoid dialysis.
