Jin H, et al. - Researchers assessed the feasibility of urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (PD) as an alternative to hemodialysis (HD) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including older patients aged > 65 years and excluding the patients who were unable to tolerate PD catheter insertion or wait for PD. In older patients with ESRD, urgent-start PD was found to be related to fewer short-term dialysis-related complications and similar survival to urgent-start HD. Overall, PD may be safe and effective dialysis modality for older ESRD patients requiring urgent dialysis.
