Is Peritoneal Dialysis a Suitable Method of Renal Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury?

Abstract

Research focus The role of peritoneal dialysis PD in the management of acute kidney injury "KI is not well defined, although it remains frequently used, especially in lowresource settings. " review was performed to ascertain its suitability as the first choice in "KI patient treatment and to compare PD with extracorporeal blood purification E"P , such as hemodialysis HD . Research methods used Design, setting, participants, and measurements of MEDLINE, CIN"HL, and Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. The review selected eligible adult population studies on PD in the setting of "KI. Results/findings of the research This paper suggests that PD should be considered as a valuable method for "KI since it offers several advantages over HD, such as technical simplicity, no extracorporeal circuit, and no bleeding risk. It offers good cardiovascular tolerance and less cardiovascular instability, thus reducing kidney aggression by ischemia and hydroelectrolytic imbalance. Main conclusions and recommendations Finally, not only in developing countries but also in developed countries, PD is relatively simple and inexpensive and is more widely used. Various techniques of PD have been developed, and these have been adapted for use in "KI. There is currently no evidence to suggest significant differences in mortality between PD and HD in "KI. There is a need for further good-quality evidence in this important area.

Conversion from Intermittent Hemodialysis to Peritoneal Dialysis in Metastatic Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection

“…Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is another form of continuous or extracorporeal renal replacement therapy. PD was initially used in the 1920s to treat acute kidney injury (AKI), but it was not revisited until 1946, when it became a life-saving dialytic modality [ 5 ]. Contemporary reviews have shown an effective direct start of PD without the requirement for transitory vascular access [ 6 ].…”
