== History ==
Peritoneal dialysis was first carried out in the 1920s; however, long-term use did not come into medical practice until the 1960s.<ref name=Nolph>{{cite book| vauthors = Nolph KD |title=Peritoneal dialysis|date=2013-03-09|publisher=Springer |isbn=978-94-017-2560-6|page=1.0 and 2.0|language=en|chapter=History of peritoneal dialysis|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=w1aHBwAAQBAJ&pg=PT33|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113133408/https://books.google.ca/books?id=w1aHBwAAQBAJ&pg=PT33|archive-date=2017-01-13|url-status=live}}</ref> The timeline was
* 1923 – [[Georg Ganter]] performs the first peritoneal dialysis in a [[guinea pig]] and attempts the procedure in humans, without success. [[Hypertonic saline]] was used as the dialysate.<ref name=Nolph/><ref name=Misra>{{cite journal| vauthors=Misra M, Phadke GM| title=Historical milestones in peritoneal dialysis | journal=Contrib Nephrol | series=Contributions to Nephrology | year= 2019 | volume= 197 | issue=  | pages= 1–8 | pmid=34569508 | doi=10.1159/000496301| isbn=978-3-318-06476-6 | doi-access=free }}</ref>
* 1927 – [[Heinrich Heusser]] and [[Hermann Werder]] were the first to treat 3 patients with continuous flow PD using two catheters. They demonstrated a decrease in the levels of blood urea, but did not suceed clinically.<ref>María Mercedes Moreiras-Plaza: ''[https://www.revistanefrologia.com/index.php?p=revista&tipo=pdf-simple&pii=X2013251414054808 Where we come from and where we are going in terms of peritoneal dialysis: identifying barriers and strategies for the future]''; Nefrologia 5/2014: 545</ref>

* 1959 – Paul Doolan and Richard Ruben of [[Naval Hospital Oakland]] first use peritoneal dialysis to treat end-stage renal disease, in a 33-year-old woman named Willie Mae Stewart. After 6 months of intermittent dialysis, she declines further treatment due to complications and dies in June 1960.<ref name=Drukker>{{cite book | last1=Drukker | first1=William | last2=Parsons | first2=Frank M. | last3=Maher | first3=J.F. | title=Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis | publisher=Springer Science & Business Media | date=2012-12-06 | isbn=978-94-009-6768-7 | pages=422–3}}</ref>
