    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Renal Replacement Therapy

    Background:

    • Advancements in permanent peritoneal catheter technology and automated dialysis cyclers have increased interest in chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD).
    • CPD is a crucial treatment modality for end-stage renal disease management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the indications, benefits, and complications of chronic peritoneal dialysis.
    • To highlight CPD as a flexible and effective treatment option integrated with hemodialysis and transplantation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and clinical practices regarding chronic peritoneal dialysis.
    • Discussion of patient selection criteria, including pediatric, elderly, diabetic patients, and those awaiting transplantation.
    • Analysis of ideal dialysis parameters and potential complications.

    Main Results:

    • Chronic peritoneal dialysis is suitable for diverse patient populations, including children, the elderly, diabetics, and those preferring home-based treatment.
    • Patients on CPD demonstrate satisfactory outcomes comparable to hemodialysis, with potential benefits like slower diabetic retinopathy progression.
    • High rehabilitation rates are achievable due to the simplicity of home CPD training.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic peritoneal dialysis is a safe, effective, and versatile renal replacement therapy.
    • Optimal dialysis parameters involve a flow rate of 4 L/hr with 21 exchanges weekly.
    • CPD, when integrated with hemodialysis and transplantation, provides comprehensive management options for nephrologists.
