A Retrograde Implantation Approach for Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement in Mice
Published on: July 20, 2022
Abstract:
Current literature (Blake et al., 1996) suggests prescribing peritoneal dialysis based on individual characteristics and a sound knowledge of factors known to improve clearances. According to the CANUSA study (1996), better clearances are associated with a decreased relative risk of death, a decreased relative risk of technique failure and decreased hospitalization. This article will discuss factors which will improve clinical practice by prescribing peritoneal dialysis on an individualized basis leading to optimal patient outcome.
