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 …

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

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

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 Despite the increasing prevalence of end-stage renal disease, peritoneal
dialysis (PD) is still offered to a minor subset of patients. One way to increment the utilization …

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 …

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

Background Many patients start renal replacement therapy urgently on in-center
hemodialysis via a central venous catheter, which is considered suboptimal. An alternative …

Background Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (PD) can help patients with end-stage renal
diseases (ESRD) that are referred late to dialysis. However, catheter patency and related …
