This is incorrect. Electrolyte imbalances and fluid overload are potential complications of both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. While electrolyte imbalances can occur with peritoneal dialysis, hemorrhage at the catheter insertion site is a more specific concern for this type of dialysis.
This is incorrect. Impaired respiratory function and lung collapse are not typical complications of peritoneal dialysis. These are more commonly associated with other respiratory conditions and not directly related to peritoneal dialysis.Questions
