peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. A salvage technique—partial replantation of the infected …

Background: This network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to compare the clinical advantage of
four commonly used peritoneal dialysis catheters (PDCs) including the Swan neck segment …

Background Catheter-related exit site infection is a major risk factor for the development of
peritonitis and can contribute to failure of treatment maintenance in peritoneal dialysis (PD) …

Purpose Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter tip migration accounts for the majority of cases of
PD catheter malfunction. In this case series, we described our experiences of using a …

Objective To determine if disconnect systems reduce the incidence of exit-site infections
when compared to nondisconnect systems. Design We prospectively monitored exit-site …

Background: Technique survival is a core outcome for peritoneal dialysis (PD), according to
Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Peritoneal Dialysis. This study aimed to identify …

Introduction: Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (US-PD) has been proposed as a safe modality
of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with an …

Method: The study is a retrospective, real-world, observational, outcome analysis correlating
the PDC tip design (straight vs. coiled-tip) and technique survival. The primary outcome was …

Background: Catheter malfunction is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD).
This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the risk factors and management of catheter …

Objective Since 2000, we have used the Moncrief–Popovich technique as our standard
method for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion. The subcutaneous portion of the …
