	Global Dialysis: What is Dialysis
		Prior to any peritoneal dialysis, a catheter is placed in the patient's abdomen, running from the peritoneum out to the surface, near the navel.
		CAPD is typically done in the patient's home and workplace, but can be done almost anywhere; a clean area to work, a way to elevate the bag of dialysis fluid and a method of warming the fluid are all that is needed.
		Intermittent dialysis is associated with a steep drop in blood pressure, and dialysis patients are warned not to travel without assistance.

	Peritoneal dialysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peritoneal dialysis works on the principle that the peritoneal membrane that surrounds the intestine, can act as a natural semipermeable membrane (see dialysis), and that if a specially formulated dialysis fluid is instilled around the membrane then dialysis can occur, by diffusion.
		Dialysis fluid is instilled via a peritoneal dialysis catheter, (the most common type is called a Tenckhoff Catheter) which is placed in the patient's abdomen, running from the peritoneum out to the surface, near the navel.
		Peritoneal dialysis is typically done in the patient's home and workplace, but can be done almost anywhere; a clean area to work, a way to elevate the bag of dialysis fluid and a method of warming the fluid are all that is needed.

		In continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), the baseline plasma insulin level is increased, and, at every exchange with glucose solution, a marked insulin response occurs (5,6).
		The absorption of glucose from the peritoneal cavity is generally between 60% and 80% in 6 hours, resulting in glucose absorption of approximately 100 – 300 g daily (4).

	Dialysis
		Most patients begin dialysis when their kidneys have lost 85% - 90% of their ability to function, and will continue dialysis for the rest of their life; this is called "end-stage renal disease" (ESRD).
		Dialysis may also be done to quickly remove toxins from the bloodstream, in cases of poisoning or drug overdose.
		Long-term peritoneal dialysis may require the surgical creation of a port in the abdomen through which this dialysate can be infused.

	Kidney Research UK - Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
		There are two main forms of dialysis: in haemodialysis, blood is taken from the patient’s circulation, passed through an artificial kidney, and returned to the patient; in peritoneal dialysis, the internal lining of the abdomen acts as the artificial kidney.
		During peritoneal dialysis, fluid is drained into the peritoneal cavity, allowed to sit there for several hours whilst it absorbs waste products, and then drained out.
		One to three litres of dialysis fluid are run via the catheter into the peritoneal cavity (Figure 1), and remain in the cavity for several hours before being drained out into an empty bag by gravity.

		a bag adapted to be interconnected with the supply tube and carried by the patient during dialysis for dispensing dialysate fluid through the supply tube to the peritoneal cavity of the patient and for receiving spent dialysate drained from the peritoneal cavity of the patient.
