Chronic kidney disease progresses through five stages corresponding to the decrease in glomerular filtration rate. Accordingly, treatment methods for chronic kidney disease also vary depending on the severity of the disease.

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.
