The Peritoneal Dialysis Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital is designed to offer a simple and effective home dialysis modality. Our goal is to provide the necessary information, skills, and techniques for the patients themselves to be able to perform dialysis safely and effectively at home.

Almost any patient who needs chronic dialysis and is willing to learn and play an active and responsible role in his/her care can do peritoneal dialysis. The methods currently available to perform this type of dialysis are such that most people, independent of age and socioeconomic status, can perform this form of therapy at home in a safe and effective way.

We are located at:
The Mount Sinai Hospital
1450 Madison Avenue
Annenberg building, B1 level
