The association of iron status on clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis: a retrospective study over 10 years.

ABSTRACT: Iron deficiency and overload are common in kidney disease. Although the relation between iron status and clinical outcome is well reported in hemodialysis, there are few publications in peritoneal dialysis (PD). We investigated the association between iron status and outcomes of new PD patients. We reviewed 1,804 new adult PD patients between 2011 and 2020. Their baseline status was classified into reference iron status (RIS), absolute iron deficiency (AID), low iron storage (LIS), functional iron deficiency (FID), and high iron status (HIS) according to the transferrin saturation and serum ferritin level. After a median follow-up of 35.2 months, outcome measures, including patient survival, technique survival, peritonitis-free survival, number of hospital admission, and length of hospital
