Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
Peritoneal dialysis would entail putting liters and liters of fluid and flushing it out daily. This needs someone to do it trained by a dialysis nurse. Therefor I believe that it is important for the patient to live with someone capable of dialysis.
