Automated Peritoneal Dialysis: The Future of Home-Based Kidney Treatment

Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) is a type of PD performed using a dialysis machine. With minimal human intervention, this machine helps deliver and drain the dialysate automatically. This dialysis machine, also called a cycler, is programmed to provide the exact dialysate your clinician prescribes. An APD exchange typically takes between 8 and 12 hours and can be performed overnight while you sleep.
