Urgent start peritoneal dialysis (US-PD) has been proposed as a modality for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) for those patients which did not receive pre-dialysis care and with no permanent access to dialysis. It has shown to be a feasible, safe, and efficient modality of KRT initiation. Thereby, evaluating the impact of both urgent start PD modalities: automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and continuous ambulatorial peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with low fill volume and standard volume (2 L/cycle) to the patients' clinical, metabolic and volemic control and outcomes could help to establish strategies to treat patients adequately according to the country's economic scenario.
