Abstract Background and Aims Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is generally associated with a good survival rate and with great preservation of residual renal function (RRF). The various causes of technique failure are responsible for the relative short time staying in PD. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the outcome and factors correlated with maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD) to guide for improving prognosis. Method In a retrospective way we examined our PD-cohort concerning mortality, technique survival, peritonitis rate, and other complications. Results From 2005 to 2019 the number of PD patients who have been treated in PD program for more than 3 months was around 199 patient, 29.1% diabetics, mean age 53.3±15.03 years old and meantime in therapy 32.39± 27.34 months. The PD was seen as an alternative for younger patients in the transplant list and elderly patients with comorbidity. Around 7.5% of the PD patients were transplanted and 8.5 % of patients were transferred from HD due to vascular access failure. Around 88.9% of patients were on PD for more than 1 year, 37.7% from 3 up to 5 years and 19.8% percent of the patients have stayed on PD for more than 5 years. Cardiovascular mortality was the main cause of mortality with 53% of the cases. Higher comorbidity index, lower albumin levels, and lower residual renal function were the main risk factors for lower survival. The technical survival of patients was 92.3% during the first year, 79.5% and 69.6% in the second and the fifth year, respectively. There was not found a difference in technical survival between diabetics and nondiabetics patients. Ultrafiltration failure followed by peritonitis was the main reason for transfer patients with more than 24 months in therapy in hemodialysis probably linked with the no availability of icodextrin. Peritonitis rate was 1:41 patient months. Conclusion PD program in our center is organized based in the concept of integrated care in RRT. The outcome of our patients was at least comparable to those reported by larger registries Although we have done good progress in the prevention of infection the nonavailability of icodextrin is an important factor for a technical failure. RRF is an important factor and we need to be more focused to maintain it longer in the future.

Objective To assess the nature of the decline in residual renal function (RRF) after the initiation of peritoneal dialysis, and to identify risk factors influencing the preservation of RRF. Design A retrospective single-center study. Setting Tertiary medical center. Patients Eighty patients who were clinically stable and had been on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for a minimum of 6 months. Main Outcome Measures All subjects had at least three measurements of RRF, which was calculated as the average of creatinine clearance (Ccr) and urea clearance from a 24-hour urine collection. All measurements of RRF were plotted on a logarithmic scale and a linear scale against the duration of CAPD. Covariables used in the correlation analyses were age, sex, the presence of diabetes mellitus, mean blood pressure, mean diastolic blood pressure, hematocrit and Ccr at the start of peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal membrane transport characteristics by peritoneal equilibration test (PET), and the rate of peritonitis. Results A significant correlation was found between CAPD duration and RRF decline represented on a logarithmic scale with a correlation coefficient ( r) of 0.355 ( p < 0.001). In contrast, on a linear scale, the correlation coefficient was only 0.273 ( p < 0.01). By linear multiple regression analysis, the only independent risk factor for the decline of RRF was the rate of peritonitis ( r = -0.446, p < 0.001). Conclusion These results suggest that RRF declines exponentially rather than linearly with time, and that the rate of peritonitis is an independent risk factor for the decline of RRF in CAPD patients.

Objective There is controversy whether increasing peritoneal clearance effectively substitutes for declining residual renal function. We studied the impact of renal and peritoneal clearances on outcome, controlling for comorbidity. Design Registry database. Settings Four dialysis centers. Patients Incident peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods Data were collected prospectively on 90 incident patients between 1991 and 1999. At the end of their first year on peritoneal dialysis, patients were divided into groups based on the first year's clearance results: group 1 ( n = 62) had weekly Kt/V greater than or equal to 2.0 and creatinine clearance (CCr/1.73 m2) greater than or equal to 60 L throughout the first year; group 2 ( n = 28) fell below these targets due to loss of residual renal function and then reached targets due to prescription change. Main Outcome Measures Patient and technique survival. Results Both groups were similar in baseline characteristics except age (57 years vs 49 years, p = 0.02) and initial albumin (34.4 g/L vs 37.5 g/L, p = 0.001). One-year patient survival after grouping was similar in both groups (86.3% vs 80.9%, p = 0.72). Cox proportional hazard model, controlling for comorbidity, did not show “group” to be a significant predictor of outcome ( p = 0.96). One-year technique survival after grouping was similar in both groups (77.3% vs 83.2%, log rank p = 0.89). For technique failure, Cox proportional hazard model showed peritonitis ( p = 0.004) to be the only significant predictor of worse outcome. Conclusions Peritoneal dialysis patients with improved clearances due to prescription changes had survival comparable to patients who never fell below target. This suggests that loss of residual renal function may be replaced by increasing peritoneal dialysis clearance. A large multicenter trial to study this important question further is needed.
