Objective: This study observed the safety and prognosis of early initiation (7 days) of
peritoneal dialysis (PD) after catheterization. Methodology: This study retrospectively …

Objective To compare the outcomes of patients starting peritoneal dialysis (PD) within two
weeks and more than two weeks after catheter implantation. Methods All the patients …

Background: Immediate-start peritoneal dialysis (ISPD) is an effective renal replacement
therapy that can prevent central venous catheterization due to its immediate initiation of …

Background Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (PD) is applied to patients who need PD within
two weeks but are able to wait for more than 48 hours before starting PD. To evaluate the …

Introduction: Early-start peritoneal dialysis (PD)(use of PD catheter within 48 hours of
insertion) is an innovative approach for prompt initiation of PD. Aim: This study was …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a treatment option for endstage renal disease can begin when
the PD catheter is inserted (1). Normally, dialysis starts 14 days after catheter placement (2) …

Background Appropriate timing of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter implantation and PD
initiation is important. Several guidelines suggest starting PD at least 2 weeks after PD …

The use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) has increased substantially in the United States (US) in
the past decade. This was likely spurred in large part by the implementation of the expanded …

Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been considered a safe option of therapy in end-
stage renal disease patients with urgent need of dialysis. Recently, it was proposed that …

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has become a well-established complementary
alternative to hemodialysis (HD) as the first-line renal replacement modality. Unlike the …
