Peritoneal dialysis beyond kidney failure?

Safety and Efficacy of Apixaban Use in Peritoneal Dialysis: A Review of the Literature

“…In PD, the dialysate compartment is the peritoneal cavity, which is separated by the peritoneal membrane, a semipermeable membrane. 3 The peritoneal cavity is utilized as the dwell space for the fluids and solutes to be exchanged before the dialysate fluid is removed. 3 A major difference between IHD and PD include the duration of time.…”

“…3 The peritoneal cavity is utilized as the dwell space for the fluids and solutes to be exchanged before the dialysate fluid is removed. 3 A major difference between IHD and PD include the duration of time. Peritoneal dialysis utilizes a prolonged dwell time that allows for the removal of solutes and fluids to occur over many hours, while IHD typically occurs over 3 to 5 hours thrice a week.…”

The comparison of risk of stroke in patients with peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…It is unclear whether the choice of dialysis modality affects the risk of stroke . Each renal replacement modality causes physiological changes that may affect the risk of stroke in a different way . In addition, two main types of stroke, that is, ischemic or hemorrhagic may be associated with different risk profiles and are heterogeneous in etiology .…”

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Each renal replacement modality causes physiological changes that may affect the risk of stroke in a different way. 24,25,[27][28][29][30] In addition, two main types of stroke, that is, ischemic or hemorrhagic may be associated with different risk profiles and are heterogeneous in etiology. 31,32 Although the choice of renal replacement therapy usually depends on many factors, it is still important to assess whether the choice of dialysis modality differs with regard to stroke risk.…”

Fiber Intake In Hemodialysis Patients And Its Effects On Symptoms

“…There are two options if peritoneal dialysis is needed: continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or intermittent peritoneal dialysis (Escott-Stump, 2015). There are advantages of peritoneal dialysis including a decrease in variability of blood chemistry levels, less invasive, ability to live a more normal life and cost effective Pratsinis, 2018).…”
