I am a PD nurse. Our clinic currently has 95 PD pts. The majority of our patients run between 8 and 9 hours overnight and do not require any day exchanges. Our local hospital uses a manifold (manual) procedure for our hospitalized PD patients. Several of our patients prefer to dialyze during the day rather than be attached to the machine overnight. Those patients do 4 manual exchanges every day. The costs for PD are usually covered by your insurance.

I also believe that Home dialysis is the best option for patients because they do have their blood cleansed and excess fluids removed in a way that is more like "normal" kidney function.
