Huang LL, Mah JY, Howard J, et al. - Incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD) affords a goal-directed initial prescription that is feasible too in patients with residual kidney function and affords comparable peritonitis rates and technique survival.

• A retrospective cohort study of incident PD patients at Eastern Health between 2015–2019.

• This study did not include patients who stopped PD within 30 days.

• Total 96 patients were included, 54 with incremental PD.

• Incremental PD patients, vs full-dose PD, were more likely to be female, had less comorbid diabetes and higher residual kidney function.

• Incremental PD not only exposed to lower exchange volumes, glucose load but also granted a longer peritonitis-free survival.

• Older age and higher starting eGFR were predictors for longer incremental PD.
