T.C. LYNCH: In my transplant life. “March 26, 2023 marked 29 years since I performed my last peritoneal dialysis treatment, and the first day with my newly transplanted kidney. Peritoneal dialysis involves surgically inserting a tube into the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneal cavity is then filled with a solution that helps draw poisons from the blood vessels in the lining of your abdomen into the solution. The solution remains in the cavity for 4 to 6 hours, then is drained and replaced with new solution. This is done 4 times a day.”
