Black patients demonstrate superior long-term survival on peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared to white patients. This study highlights PD as a viable treatment option for Black individuals with end-stage renal disease.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Racial disparities in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) outcomes are a significant concern.
  • Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a common treatment modality for ESRD, but its effectiveness across different racial groups requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate potential racial differences in patient survival within a peritoneal dialysis program.
  • To identify factors influencing mortality in patients undergoing PD.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 233 incident PD patients from January 1987 to September 1997.
  • Collected data included clinical features, comorbidities, nutritional status, and dialysis dose.
  • Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to identify predictors of mortality.

Main Results:

  • White race was independently associated with increased mortality risk (RR: 2.35) compared to Black patients.
  • Survival rates at 1, 2, and 5 years were consistently higher for Black patients across all analyses (diabetic and non-diabetic).
  • Factors like age, cardiac disease, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and serum albumin also predicted mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Long-term patient survival on PD is significantly better for Black patients than for white patients.
  • Peritoneal dialysis should be considered a viable treatment option for Black patients with ESRD.
  • Further research into the underlying causes of these racial survival differences is warranted.
