What Does NPD Stand For?
NPD stands for Nightly Peritoneal Dialysis
NPD, or Nightly Peritoneal Dialysis, is a renal replacement therapy designed for patients with chronic kidney disease. This method involves the infusion of dialysis fluid into the peritoneal cavity during the night, allowing for the removal of waste products and excess fluids while the patient sleeps. NPD offers increased convenience and flexibility compared to traditional dialysis methods, promoting better quality of life and potentially improved clinical outcomes for individuals with kidney dysfunction.
