International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis

The International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) is a global organization dedicated to improving treatment for people with kidney failure through peritoneal dialysis—a method that uses the lining of the abdomen to filter waste from the blood. The ISPD promotes research, education, and guidelines to enhance patient care, ensuring safer and more effective therapies worldwide. It brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients to advance understanding, share best practices, and improve quality of life for those relying on peritoneal dialysis.
