continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

Front 9

variety of methods used to replace normal kidney function by circulating the patient's blood through a filter and returning it to the patient

Back 9

continuous renal replacement therapy

Front 10

solution that circulates through the dialyzer in hemodialysis and through the peritoneal membrane in peritoneal dialysis

dialysate

Front 11

dialysis machine... contains a semipermeable membrane through which particles of a certain size can pass
