Population
Patients with chronic renal failure undergoing substitution treatment (7 articles included)
Comparison
Hemodialysis vs Peritoneal dialysis
Design
Meta-analysis
Key result
Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis showed no unanimous difference in overall quality of life, though the effect of kidney disease was significantly better with peritoneal dialysis.

No overall QoL preference between modalities; leaves open peritoneal dialysis benefits on kidney disease-specific outcomes.
Meta-Analysis
Does hemodialysis provide a better quality of life compared to peritoneal dialysis in patients with chronic renal failure?
There is no unanimous conclusion on whether hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis provides better overall quality of life, though peritoneal dialysis may have a better effect on kidney disease-specific QoL.
Zazzeroni et al. (2017) conducted a meta-analysis in Chronic renal failure. Hemodialysis vs. Peritoneal dialysis was evaluated on Quality of life (QoL). Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis showed no unanimous difference in overall quality of life, though the effect of kidney disease was significantly better with peritoneal dialysis.
