Technique that uses the
patient's own body tissues inside of the belly (abdominal cavity) to act as a filter.
The intestines lie in the abdominal cavity, the space between the abdominal wall and the
spine. A plastic tube called a "dialysis catheter" is placed through the
abdominal wall into the abdominal cavity. A special fluid is then flushed into the
abdominal cavity and washes around the intestines. The intestinal walls act as a filter
between this fluid and the blood stream. By using different types of solutions, waste
products and excess water can be removed from the body through this process.
