Introduction:
To assess the relationship between the rate of residual renal function (RRF) decline in the first year and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
Methods:
Incident PD patients were divided into two groups by the corresponding RRF decline value, when hazard ratio (HR) = 1 was found by the restricted cubic spline. The associations of rate of decline of RRF in the first year with mortality were evaluated.
Results:
Of 497 PD patients, 122 patients died. After adjusting for confounding factors, patients in fast-decline group had a significant increase risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.97 and 2.09, respectively). Each 0.1-mL/min/1.73 m2 /month decrease in RRF in the first year of PD was associated with a 19% and 20% higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, respectively.
Conclusions:
Faster decline of RRF in the first year was independently associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in PD patients.

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...
01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
