Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each exchange takes about 30 to 40 minutes. During an exchange, you can read, talk, watch television, or sleep. With CAPD, you keep the solution in your belly for 4 to 6 hours or more. The time that the dialysis solution is in your belly is called the dwell time.
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.
