Peritoneal Dialysis in the Modern Era

About this book

Peritoneal dialysis, which is part of integrated renal care that includes kidney transplantation and hemodialysis, is a home-based therapy with multiple benefits over those of hemodialysis. These benefits include preservation of residual kidney function, preservation of vascular access, lower risk of infection and bleeding, better early years survival rate, a better bridge for kidney transplantation, and higher satisfaction level of patients with improved quality of life. Over the past 20 years, peritoneal dialysis treatment has witnessed significant improvements in peritoneal dialysis solutions, cyclers, and remote patient management, among others. Despite these advances, the peritoneal dialysis penetration rate remains low globally. This is due to multiple factors, including lack of or inadequate training of healthcare professionals. The book Peritoneal Dialysis in the Modern Era represents an update on selected and important theoretical and practical aspects of peritoneal dialysis therapy. It contains elegantly written chapters by distinguished and experienced authors. These include the quality of life on peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal dialysis in the pediatric age group, and the impact of green dialysis. Each chapter provides a clear description in a simple and easily understood layout, which is supported by illustrations and/or figures or tables and lists of related references for further reading.
