Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Increased Peritoneal Clearances on Mortality Rates in Peritoneal Dialysis: ADEMEX, a Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that increases in peritoneal small-solute clearances within the range studied have a neutral effect on patient survival, even when the groups are stratified according to a variety of factors known to affect survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional assessment of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients : an international study

TL;DR: There was a higher incidence of mild to moderate malnutrition in diabetics than in nondiabetics, and in women there was a trend for more anorexia, greater weight loss from muscle wasting, and a larger decrease in albumin, whereas in men there was more gradual decrease in nutritional status.
Journal ArticleDOI

Similar Outcomes With Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease

TL;DR: In the most recent cohorts, patients who began treatment with HD or PD have similar outcomes, and analyses in 8 subgroups based on age, diabetic status, and baseline comorbidity showed greater improvement in survival among patients treated with PD relative to HD at all follow-up periods.
Journal ArticleDOI

The differential impact of risk factors on mortality in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis

TL;DR: Valid mortality comparisons between HD and PD require patient stratification according to major risk factors known to interact with treatment modality, which may help identify technical advances that will improve outcomes of patients on dialysis.
