Supports cautious PD consideration in ESRD; leaves open need for RCTs to compare long-term survival with HD.
Does peritoneal dialysis compared to hemodialysis affect survival and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Korean ESRD patients on peritoneal dialysis have higher mortality and cardiovascular risk than those on hemodialysis, warranting caution in patients with diabetes, coronary artery disease, or congestive heart failure.
