Peritoneal Dialysis
Conditions
Brief summary
A fast peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR) has been linked to worse survival especially in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD) cohort. In more recent cohorts, where automated PD and icodextrin were more widely used, this association disappears. The current study intended to clarify whether fast PSTR is related to worse outcome in this single center cohort with minimal use of APD and no icodextrin and otherwise modern management practice. Our study found that baseline PSTR predicted patient outcome in univariate survival analysis but not in multivariate analysis. The relationship between comorbidity and faster baseline PSTR may partly explain it.
