Most patients presenting with an unplanned, urgent need for dialysis are prescribed haemodialysis, leading to peritoneal dialysis underutilisation. Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis refers to treatment that is commenced within 2 weeks of catheter placement. Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis represents an efficacious, cost-effective alternative to the conventional approach of commencing dialysis. There is a paucity of evidence to guide management, however experience with the technique is increasing. This article overviews the rationale and practical application of urgent-start peritoneal dialysis. | Description: | Cairns & Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) affiliated authors: Julian Yaxley, Tahira Scott | DOI: | 10.1016/j.nefroe.2022.05.010 | Keywords: | Peritoneal dialysis;Urgent-start;Acute kidney injury;End-stage kidney disease | Type: | Article |
