Peritoneal dialysis in Crohn's disease: A gray area worth revisiting

Paper No results yet Not peer reviewed

Key takeaways

A commentary about peritoneal dialysis, which cleans the blood using the lining of the belly instead of a machine that filters it outside the body. Doctors often rule this out for people with Crohn's disease, a condition that inflames the gut. The author argues that caution deserves a fresh look. This is an opinion piece with no new data behind it.
