MODEL RELEASED. Peritoneal dialysis connector. Close-up of a dialysis patient securing her connector between sessions. Dialysis,or haemodialysis,is required when the kidneys are no longer able to filter waste products from the blood properly. Peritoneal dialysis uses the patient's peritoneum (lining of the abdominal cavity) as a filter. Peritoneal dialysis removes the need to visit a hospital several times a week for several hours to undergo dialysis on a machine. However,the catheter inserted in the abdomen can become infected,so training needs to be given to the patient to minimise the risks involved | |
