LOINC description : Peritoneal dialysis is a form of renal replacement therapy that uses the abdominal
peritoneum to filter blood. During peritoneal dialysis, fluid is infused into the
peritoneal cavity and left there for a certain period of time depending on the type
of peritoneal dialysis and patient needs. During this time (called dwell time), the
dialysis fluid filters solutes out of the patient's blood. At the end of the dwell
time, the fluid is drained and discarded. [https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/kidney-disease/kidney-failure/peritoneal-dialysis]
