Causes and risk factors for peritoneal dialysis withdrawal
1The 3rd Ward Department of Nephrology, The 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China.
Introduction:
This study intends to investigate the causes and risk factors for withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis (PD) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD).
Methods:
Two hundred ninety-three patients admitted to the peritoneal dialysis center in nephrology department for PD treatment were divided into 175 cases in group A (continuous treatment group) and 118 cases in group B (withdrawal group).
Results:
The proportion of patients in group B whose primary disease was glomerulonephritis was significantly lower than that in group A (p <0.05), whereas the proportion of patients with diabetic nephropathy was significantly higher in group B than in group A (p <0.05). Group A received better emotional support and care services from family members than group B. Family care was mostly severely impaired in patients who died and were lost to follow-up.
Conclusion:
Diabetes mellitus, level of knowledge regarding PD, depression, and family care are risk factors for withdrawal from PD.
