Salt and Water Balance (2022)
Book Chapter

Achieving salt and water balance is fundamental to optimizing fluid status, one of the key objectives of peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. The relative importance of salt and water management to patient outcomes was historically underestimated by e... Read More about Salt and Water Balance.

Monitoring residual kidney function in haemodialysis patients using timed urine collections: validation of the use of estimated blood results to calculate GFR (2022)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: With growing recognition of the benefits of preserving residual kidney function (RKF) and use of incremental treatment regimes, the incentive to measure residual clearance in haemodialysis patients is increasing. Interdialytic urine collec...

Intervening to eliminate the centre-effect variation in home dialysis use: protocol for Inter-CEPt—a sequential mixed-methods study designing an intervention bundle (2022)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: Use of home dialysis by centres in the UK varies considerably and is decreasing despite attempts to encourage greater use. Knowing what drives this unwarranted variation requires in-depth understanding of centre cultural and organisatio...

Variation in Peritoneal Dialysis Time on Therapy by Country: Results from the Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study. (2022)
Journal Article

Background and objectives Quantifying contemporary peritoneal dialysis time on therapy is important for patients and providers. We describe time on peritoneal dialysis in the context of outcomes of hemodialysis transfer, death, and kidney transplanta...

International Icodextrin Use and Association with Peritoneal Membrane Function, Fluid Removal, Patient and Technique Survival (2022)
Journal Article

Key Points There are important national and center differences in the prescription of icodextrin, with the United States a clear outlier; across all countries, icodextrin was more likely to be used if membrane function tests indicated reduced ultrafi...

Mortality Trends After Transfer From Peritoneal Dialysis to Hemodialysis (2022)
Journal Article

Introduction Transition to hemodialysis (HD) is a common outcome in peritoneal dialysis (PD), but the associated mortality risk is poorly understood. This study sought to identify rates of and risk factors for mortality after transitioning from PD t... Read More about Mortality Trends After Transfer From Peritoneal Dialysis to Hemodialysis.

Spiritual well-being and its relationship with patient characteristics and other patient-reported outcomes in peritoneal dialysis patients: Findings from the PDOPPS (2022)
Journal Article

Background Spiritual well-being (SWB), an individual's understanding of the meaning and purpose of life, may help patients with chronic or terminal illnesses cope with their diseases. This study aimed to assess SWB in patients on peritoneal dialysis...
