Rapid Initiation of Peritoneal Dialysis by Automated Peritoneal Dialysis or Hemodialysis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

It is still controversial whether automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) or hemodialysis (HD) is a more favorable choice for the rapid initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Methods

A pilot randomized prospective controlled trial was carried out in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. Sixty-seven patients who chose long-term PD treatment and needed unplanned dialysis were enrolled and randomized into HD-CAPD group (33 cases) or APD-CAPD group (34 cases) based on the dialysis modality during the transition period (within 14 days from the day PD catheter was implanted). Continuous ambulatory PD started after the transition period. The primary outcome was the decline rates of residual glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Secondary outcomes included the rates of mechanical complica
