Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a treatment procedure for chronic kidney disease (CKD) that utilizes the patient's peritoneal membrane as a natural filter to remove waste products and excess fluids from the body, and it serves as a viable option for kidney replacement therapy (KRT). Effectively prescribing PD requires an understanding of individual characteristics of peritoneal membrane transport, evaluated through the peritoneal equilibration test (PET). Based on this test, the patient's peritoneum can be classified into four categories: high, high average, low average, or low peritoneal transport.
