Patients With Nonfast Peritoneal Transfer Rate are More Suitable for Incremental Peritoneal Dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Previous studies have shown that incremental peritoneal dialysis (iPD) improves the prognosis of patients on PD with tolerable residual kidney function (RKF). The peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR) characterizes peritoneal ultrafiltration and solute transfer. However, the most appropriate recipients of iPD have not been identified. Therefore, we hypothesized that patients with different PSTRs would experience different clinical benefits of iPD therapy.

Methods

We studied patients with RKF who initiated continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) at our center. The enrolled patients were allocated to fast and nonfast PSTR groups, and then to iPD or full-dose PD. To mitigate the influence of confounding factors, propensity score matching was employed. The
