Single-center study shows comparable outcomes in peritoneal dialysis patients with chronic liver and kidney failure, suggesting a viable treatment option.
In this single-center study on PD patients with CLKF, we observed excellent outcomes, with mortality, hospitalizations, and peritonitis rates comparable to those of the general PD population. Furthermore, by providing continuous drainage of ascites, PD alleviated the need for large-volume paracentesis. In addition, PD did not affect the candidacy for SLK transplant. Hence, PD should be considered a viable dialysis modality in patients with CLKF.
