PEKT provides a clear survival benefit that outweighs its risks, and peritoneal dialysis offers lower infection and hospitalization risks than hemodialysis in patients under 75.
Do long-term trends in CKD-MBD parameters after parathyroidectomy predict survival in dialysis patients?
Long-term trends in PTH and serum phosphorus after parathyroidectomy are independent predictors of all-cause mortality in dialysis patients.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Conclusion: Although PEKT involves risks such as infections, protocol kidney biopsies, and frequent hospitalizations for stent exchanges, its clear survival benefit outweighs these disadvantages. In patients <75 years, PD offers advantages over HD when considering infection and overall hospitalization risks. For patients 75 years, survival is low for both PD and HD; therefore, rather than strongly recommending dialysis initiation, it is essential to discuss treatment decisions with patients while considering infection and hospitalization risks to optimize remaining life quality.
