BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) offers quality of life and empowerment for persons with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Nevertheless, the prevalence of PD is low in Belgium and Europe in general. Reimbursement, patient mix and late referral have been quoted as underlying reasons. However, to date no one-size-fits-all solution increasing uptake of PD has been successfully implemented. We aimed to understand the nephrologist's perspective, beliefs, and experiences on dialysis modality selection and to clarify underlying process-level and intrinsic motivations steering final decisions...

BACKGROUND: Increased intraperitoneal pressure is associated with abdominal wall complications and technical failure of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Several equations have been developed to estimate intraperitoneal pressure. We aimed to assess the prognostic yield of the intraperitoneal pressure as estimated by current equations on the occurrence of abdominal wall complications in peritoneal dialysis patients. METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of data from a prospective cohort which recruited 1207 incident PD patients...

BACKGROUND: There is little economic evidence on different modalities among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Iran. This study aimed to assess the cost-utility of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) among ESRD patients in Iran. METHODS: From the health system perspective and with a 10-year time horizon, we conducted a cost-utility analysis based on a Markov model to compare three strategies of PD and HD [the second scenario (30% PD, 70% HD), the third scenario (50% PD, 50% HD) and the fourth scenario (70% PD, 30% HD)] among ESRD patients with the current situation (PD, 3% vs...

OBJECTIVES: There is a lack of prognostic information to guide the prediction of short-term all-cause mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The aim was to review the risk factors that influenced the risk of short-term all-cause mortality in patients with ESRD. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were searched for articles published between 2000 and 2020. Articles describing risk factors predicting short-term mortality (≤ 3 years) in patients with ESRD were included...

BACKGROUND: While assessment of membrane characteristics is fundamental to peritoneal dialysis (PD) prescription in patients initiating therapy, peritoneal equilibration test has theoretical and practical drawbacks. We wished to determine whether an equation using simple clinical variables could predict fast (above population mean) peritoneal solute transfer rate without dialysate sampling. METHODS: We measured peritoneal solute transfer rate, as determined by peritoneal equilibration test using the 4-h dialysate to plasma creatinine ratio, in consecutive PD outpatients attending a single tertiary hospital for their first clinical follow-up within 3 months of dialysis initiation...

Pregnancy is an important goal for many women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney failure, but important barriers exist, particularly as CKD stage progresses. Women with advanced CKD often have a limited fertility window and may miss their opportunity for a pregnancy if advised to defer until after kidney transplantation. Pregnancy rates in women with advanced kidney failure or receiving dialysis remain low, and despite the improved outcomes in recent years, these pregnancies remain high risk for both mother and baby with high rates of preterm birth due to both maternal and fetal complications...

Systemic amyloid A amyloidosis is a progressive condition in which sustained elevation of serum amyloid A protein concentration leads to widespread amyloid deposition resulting in multiorgan failure without treatment. The kidney is the most commonly affected organ, and renal amyloid A amyloidosis can cause nephrotic syndrome and chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading to end stage kidney disease (ESKD). Serum Amyloid A protein is produced in the liver in response to chronic inflammation, specifically by inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-6...

Kidney replacement therapy (KRT) initiated in Latin America towards the second half of the 20th century, starting with dialytic therapies and, shortly thereafter, with kidney transplant. By the end of 2021, close to half a million Latin Americans were under KRT, with an overall unadjusted prevalence of 872 per million persons (pmp), yet with significant heterogeneity between nations. By treatment modality, 68% of prevalent patients were treated with hemodialysis (HD), 9% with peritoneal dialysis (PD), and 23% were living with a functioning kidney graft (LFG)...

Diabetic nephropathy is currently the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. The present methods of assessing diabetes control, such as glycated hemoglobin or self-monitoring of blood glucose, have limitations. Over the past decade, the field of continuous glucose monitoring has been greatly improved and expanded. This review examines the use of continuous glucose monitoring in people with end-stage kidney disease treated with hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), or kidney transplantation. We assessed the use of both real-time continuous glucose monitoring and flash glucose monitoring technology in terms of hypoglycemia detection, glycemic variability, and efficacy, defined as an improvement in clinical outcomes and diabetes control...

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis provides several benefits for patients and should be offered as first line kidney replacement therapy, particularly for fragile patients. Limitation to self-care drove assisted peritoneal dialysis to evolve from family-based care to institutional programs, with specialized care givers. Some European countries have mastered this, while others are still bound by the availability of a volunteer to become responsible for treatment. METHODS: A group of leading nephrologists from 13 European countries integrated real-life application of such therapy, highlighting barriers, lessons learned and practical solutions...

As the global burden of chronic kidney disease continues to increase, the use of peritoneal dialysis is often advocated as the preferred initial dialysis modality. Observational studies suggest a survival advantage for peritoneal dialysis over hemodialysis for the initial 2-3 years of dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis has been associated with better graft survival after kidney transplantation and has a reduced cost burden compared to hemodialysis. However, several medical and non-medical reasons may limit access to peritoneal dialysis, and less than 20% of patients with end-stage kidney disease are treated with peritoneal dialysis worldwide...

'Elderly' is most commonly defined as an individual aged 65 years or older. However, this definition fails to account for the differences in genetics, lifestyle and overall health that contribute to significant heterogeneity among the elderly beyond chronological age. As the world population continues to age, the prevalence of chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), is increasing and CKD frequently progresses to kidney failure. Moreover, frailty represents a multidimensional clinical entity highly prevalent in this population, which needs to be adequately assessed to inform and support medical decisions...
