Background:
We assessed the results of peripheral vascular surgery in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who were being treated with peritoneal dialysis.
Methods:
Sixty-seven ESRD patients on peritoneal dialysis who had peripheral vascular surgery were assessed retrospectively for preoperative risk factors, primary and secondary patency rates, and mortalitv. The study group had 48 proximal femoral-popliteal bypasses, 12 distal femoral-popliteal bypasses, and 7 distal femoral-tibial and/or peroneal revascularizations.
Results:
Among 67 peritoneal dialysis patients, 15 deaths (22%) occurred over 68 months (mean, 14 months).
Conclusion:
Patients on peritoneal dialysis had adequate patency rates and length of survival after peripheral vascular surgery when maintained on peritoneal dialysis.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
