Peritoneal Dialysis for Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease and Liver Cirrhosis

End-stage renal disease patients with cirrhosis represent a therapeutic dilemma, with several difficulties associated with hemodialysis as a renal replacement therapy modality.

This review covers the existing data on the outcomes and complications associated with the use of peritoneal dialysis in the cirrhotic patient.
