Dianeal 2.5 % Pd-2 2000 ml

Dianeal peritoneal dialysis solution is indicated for the management of acute or chronic renal failure. It helps remove extra salt, water and waste products from the body when kidneys fail to do so. Dianeal peritoneal dialysis solutions are intended for use in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) or Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD). In CAPD, gravity moves the fluid through the catheter and into and out of your abdomen where as in APD, a machine called a cycler fills and drains your belly.
