The dialysis census published by the Brazilian Society of Nephrology in 2022 estimated 153,831 patients on dialysis in Brazil, being 95.3% of them on hemodialysis (HD) and 4.4% on peritoneal dialysis (PD)1. Despite the greater comfort and practicality in relation to HD, the prevalence of PD remains very low, and among the causes it is able to cite the inappropriate education of patients about home dialysis, shortage of trained medical and nursing staff, lack of infrastructure for urgent start PD support, infections as a cause of therapy failure, among other factors2.
