Predictors of Long-Term Survival on Peritoneal Dialysis in South India: A Multicenter Study

Abstract: This multicenter cohort study of prevalent continuous PD patients in south India showed nondiabetics, average transporters, nonsmokers with reasonable nutritional status, with Hb 11 g/dL, with low peritonitis rate, with over 1 L ultrafiltration volume per day, the great majority that joined the once per lifetime payment scheme, and the reimbursement group survived for 3 years or longer.

“…For both the treatment modalities, international guidelines underline volume status for dialysis adequacy. 1 One of the main factors determining the morbidity and mortality in PD patients is volume status [2][3][4][5][6][7] and may even be more important than solute clearance. 8 Besides clinical findings (blood pressure, presence of edema, and weight gain), echocardiography, Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), direct measurement of extracellular and total body water (TBW), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been used for the determination of hydration status.…”
