Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that uses the lining of your abdomen, or belly, to filter your blood inside your body. Health care providers call this lining the peritoneum. A few weeks before you start peritoneal dialysis, a surgeon places a soft tube, called a catheter, in your belly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD): Requires the use of a special dialysis machine that can be used in the home. This type of dialysis is done automatically, even while you are asleep. Intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD): Uses the same type of machine as CCPD, but treatments take longer.

Detailed explanation-3: -During PD, you use a catheter to fill your belly with a cleaning fluid called dialysate. A catheter is a thin tube that transports fluid in or out of your body. The tissue that covers most of the organs in your belly (the peritoneum) acts as a filter for this process.

Detailed explanation-4: -A PD catheter is the only access type for peritoneal dialysis. It requires no needles during dialysis.
