Continuous
Ambulatory
Peritoneal Dialysis
(CAPD) or home
dialysis is another
alternative. A
permanent flexible
catheter is
implanted in the
peritoneum, which is
the covering for the
intestine. Fluid,
which is
commercially
available, is put in
and is drained after
a dwell period. This
facilitates the
removal of waste
materials across
peritoneum.
CAPD is @ Rs.
15000/- month (3
bags/day, total 90
bags/month).
