My cousin needs to go to Peritoneal dialysis while he is waiting kidney transplantation. We hope that it can help him. I want to know What types of Peritoneal dialysis exist? And what are the main differences between them? Can somebody who has some kind of experience with it tell me that? Thanks!

There are two types of Peritoneal dialysis: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD). With CAPD, you fill your abdomen with dialysis solution and drain the fluid by hand. With CCPD a machine automatically infuses dialysis solution into your peritoneal cavity and drains it several times during the night while you sleep.
