Background The optimal time for the commencement of peritoneal dialysis (PD) after PD
catheter insertion is unclear. If dialysis is started too soon after insertion, dialysate leaks and …

Background The most appropriate time to initiate dialysis after surgical insertion of Tenckhoff
catheters is not clear in the literature. There is the possibility of peritoneal dialysis (PD) …

Introduction Early peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC)-related complications are frequent and
make an important contribution to long-term PD survival. We aimed to analyse the incidence …

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 …

Background Best practices for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion call for timely
placement of catheters to reduce complications and increase the likelihood of a successful …

Background: Home-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an alternative to facility-based
hemodialysis and has lower costs and greater freedom for patients with kidney failure. For a …

Urgent‐start peritoneal dialysis (USPD) is increasingly seen as a viable alternative to
hemodialysis through a central venous catheter for late‐presenting end‐stage renal disease …

The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of the elective‐start versus urgent‐start use
of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters using percutaneous radiologic or laparoscopic …

Background. Our centre uses a modification of the Moncrief technique of embedding
peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters. We undertook this study to test the hypothesis that …

Background: This multi-institutional, observational study examined whether the outcomes
after peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement in Japan meet the audit criteria of the …
