| 275. | CKD-P2 | The peritoneal? |
| 276. | Doc3: | Yeah, summarise it for me. |
| 277. | CKD-P2: | Yeah. From what I’ve studied myself … |
| 278. | Doc3: | Good [laughs]. |

| 280. | Doc3: | Good, you’re using all the right terms. [to patient’s mother] She’s been studying very well [laughs]. |
| 281. | CKD-P2: | …in the peritoneum but if there is scar tissue in there it won’t cleanse that area properly, but that’s okay you can still do it, it will still do its job. |
| 282. | Doc3: | Yeah. Yep. It’s based at home. |

| 295. | CKD-P2: | Yeah, okay. |
| 296. | Doc3: | But it’s also guided by your symptoms. |
