Perbandingan (Perbedaan) antara Hemodialisis dengan Dialisis Peritoneal
| Haemodialysis | Peritoneal dialysis |
| Efficient | Less efficient |
| 4 hours three times per week usually adequate | Four exchanges per day usually required, each taking 30-60 minutes (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) or 8-10 hours each night (automated peritoneal dialysis) |
| 2-3 days between treatments | A few hours between treatments |
| Requires visits to hospital (although home treatment possible for some patients) | Performed at home |
| Requires adequate venous circulation for vascular access | Requires an intact peritoneal cavity without major scarring from previous surgery |
| Careful compliance with diet and fluid restrictions required between treatments | Diet and fluid less restricted |
| Fluid removal compressed into treatment periods; may cause symptoms and haemodynamic instability | Slow continuous fluid removal, usually asymptomatic |
| Infections related to vascular access may occur | Peritonitis and catheter-related infections may occur |
| Patients are to some extent dependent on others | Patients can take full responsibility for their treatment |
