Patients need a bit of hand-holding in the initial two to three months. After that, they really benefit. The peritoneal dialysis is ideal for kidney patients who find it difficult to travel to hospitals for Certain categories of patients such as children, elderly and visually impaired, who cannot travel long distances, need peritoneal dialysis support at home. Almost all the major private hospitals provide hemodialysis, wherein dialysis machines are used to purify the blood for kidney patients and are located in hospitals. In peritoneal dialysis, patients usually can take care of themselves at home and do not need a dedicated bedside healthcare provider. says Sree Bhushan Raju[4]
