Clinical outcomes of incident peritoneal dialysis patients coming from kidney transplantation program: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Brazil ranks second in the absolute number of transplantations in the world.

Concerns exist regarding adverse clinical outcomes in this population when undergone peritoneal dialysis (PD). OBJECTIVE:To compare the occurrence of mortality, technique failure, and peritonitis among incident patients in PD coming from either Tx or pre-dialysis treatment. METHODOLOGY:A retrospective study in which 47 adult patients with Tx failure (Tx group) were matched for age, gender, diabetes mellitus (DM), modality and start year of PD, with 1:1 predialysis patient (nTx group).
