Summary
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is now feasible for more patients than previously thought, even with complex medical conditions. This kidney replacement therapy requires a collaborative approach for successful implementation.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Renal Replacement Therapy
Background:
- Traditional contraindications for peritoneal dialysis (PD) are being re-evaluated.
- Conditions like anuria, polycystic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and advanced age are now considered manageable for PD.
- Catheter access for PD can be safely established in patients with various comorbidities.

Renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood effectively. It can be classified into two types: acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic renal failure (CRF).
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...

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...
