Chronic kidney disease progresses through 5 stages of increasing severity. Stage 5 is the most severe and often requires kidney replacement to sustain life.

Peritoneal dialysis is one of the most effective and convenient methods of treating end-stage renal failure. However, not all patients with end-stage renal failure are suitable for peritoneal dialysis.

End-stage chronic renal failure is a dangerous disease that many people suffer from. Complications of peritoneal dialysis can occur, so patients need to pay special attention when treating end-stage chronic renal failure with this method.

Peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis are the two most common renal replacement therapies in patients with end-stage renal disease. Each has its own advantages and the two methods can complement each other.
