is considered a treatment for kidney failure that patients can perform on their own, with training.

Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. After training, many patients can perform it themselves at home, often several times a day or overnight. An adrenalectomy removes an adrenal gland, a kidney biopsy takes a tissue sample, and a transplant requires surgery rather than being a treatment patients perform on their own.
