factors affecting catheter survival. Methods We carried out a retrospective study on 315 …

Objective Guidelines for optimal peritoneal dialysis access support both downward and
lateral exit-site directions. Numerous clinical reports support the superiority of downward exit …

Aim A high proportion of patients whose catheters are removed are unable to successfully
reinitiate peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to irreversible peritoneal injury or to decisions made …
