Peritoneal dialysis

Lancet, The, 1999
Peritoneal dialysis has now become an established form of renal replacement therapy; nearly half the patients on dialysis in the UK are treated in this way. Survival of patients is now equal to that with haemodialysis. However, long-term peritoneal dialysis (>8 years) is limited to a small percentage of patients because of dropout to haemodialysis for ...

The “Heart” of Peritoneal Dialysis

open access: yesPeritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 2007
Cardiovascular disease accounts for more than half of all deaths in end-stage renal disease patients receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. The recent demonstration of the important association between residual renal clearance (but not PD clearance) and overall and cardiovascular survival in chronic PD patients has led us to further ...

Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2002
Peritonitis, an infectious complication of peritoneal dialysis, continues to account for much of the morbidity associated with this techniques. The clinical presentation and laboratory data used in diagnosis the peritonitis, as well as its differential diagnosis will be reviewed in this article.

Peritoneal Dialysis

2006
In 2006, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was used to treat 11% of all dialysis patients (12% in 2005), and automated peritoneal dialysis 11% (9% in 2005). Together, these accounted for 69% of all home dialysis, a figure which has remained stable for the past number of years (Figure 6.1).

Incremental peritoneal dialysis

open access: yesPeritoneal Dialysis International, 2020
Incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been variably defined. It involves taking advantage of the residual renal function that is usually present at initiation of dialysis to initially prescribe less onerous lower doses of PD while still achieving ...

Peritoneal dialysis

Nursing Standard, 2005
Peritoneal dialysis has much to offer patients with chronic renal failure who wish to manage their care and live relatively independent lives. The authors discuss different peritoneal dialysis treatments, patient selection, benefits and the management of potential complications.

The Dialysis Catheter and Infectious Peritonitis in Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis

Archives Of Physiology And Biochemistry, 1984
118 episodes of infectious peritonitis registered among 156 patients treated with intermittent peritoneal dialysis over a 5-yr period were analysed with special reference to potential routes of infection associated with the dialysis catheter. Peritonitis was randomly distributed among the patients, and the change of keeping free of peritonitis declined

The Peritoneal Microcirculation in Peritoneal Dialysis

Microcirculation, 2001
ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the peritoneal microcirculation and with peritoneal exchange occurring in peritoneal dialysis (PD). The capillary wall is a major barrier to solute and water exchange across the peritoneal membrane. There is a bimodal size‐selectivity of solute transport between blood and the peritoneal cavity, through pores of radius ∼40 ...
