Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Renal Replacement Therapy

Background:

  • Peritoneal dialysis is a vital treatment for end-stage renal disease.
  • It is often overlooked in patients with declining vascular access.
  • Dialysis strategies (peritoneal and hemodialysis) are interdependent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize peritoneal dialysis (PD) applications for vascular surgeons.
  • To highlight PD as a viable option for patients with limited vascular access.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of PD principles and management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of PD history and physiological principles.
  • Analysis of indications and contraindications for PD.
  • Description of catheter placement and administration techniques.
  • Identification and management strategies for PD complications.

Main Results:

  • PD offers a crucial alternative for renal failure patients.
  • Many patients with compromised vascular access are suitable PD candidates.
  • A thorough understanding of PD is essential for optimal patient care.

Conclusions:

  • Peritoneal dialysis is an indispensable modality for renal failure management.
  • Integrated assessment of dialysis options is crucial.
  • Vascular surgeons play a key role in identifying PD candidates.
