A patient on PD asks why they have fewer hemodynamic shifts than HD. The best response is:

1. Because peritoneal dialysis uses no dialysate at all.
2. Because PD removes fluid and solutes continuously, not in large boluses.
3. Because PD sessions are much shorter than HD sessions.
4. Because PD uses higher ultrafiltration rates than HD.
