Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right? (2016)
Journal Article
Davies, S. J. (2016). Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right?. Kidney International, 90(6), 1162 -1163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2016.09.020

How the dialysis dose is normalized is just one of several assumptions that clinicians need to take into account when prescribing peritoneal dialysis. El-Kateb et al. confirm that estimating the volume of urea distribution is associated with signific... Read More about Normalizing the peritoneal dialysis dose-have we got it right?.

The Current State of Peritoneal Dialysis (2016)
Journal Article
Mehrotra, R., Devuyst, O., Davies, S. J., & Johnson, D. W. (2016). The Current State of Peritoneal Dialysis. Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 27(11), 3238 -3252. https://doi.org/10.1681/ASN.2016010112

Technical innovations in peritoneal dialysis (PD), now used widely for the long-term treatment of ESRD, have significantly reduced therapy-related complications, allowing patients to be maintained on PD for longer periods. Indeed, the survival rate f... Read More about The Current State of Peritoneal Dialysis.

Background Patients are satisfied with their kidney care but want more support in making dialysis choices. Predialysis leaflets vary across services, with few being sufficient to enable patients’ informed decision making. We describe the acceptabili...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Glucose control is a significant predictor of mortality in diabetic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. During PD, the local toxic effects of intra-peritoneal glucose are well recognized, but despite large amounts of glucose...
