Clinical outcomes of peritoneal dialysis in patients with chronic liver and kidney failure: A single-center study

Key Points

• To evaluate the clinical outcomes of peritoneal dialysis in patients with chronic liver and kidney failure.
• Conducted a single-center study focusing on patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
• Compared outcomes such as mortality, hospitalizations, and peritonitis rates with the general peritoneal dialysis population.
• Assessed the impact of peritoneal dialysis on the need for paracentesis and candidacy for simultaneous liver-kidney transplant.
• Observed excellent clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis patients with chronic liver and kidney failure.
• Mortality, hospitalizations, and peritonitis rates were comparable to the general peritoneal dialysis population.
• Peritoneal dialysis reduced the need for large-volume paracentesis without affecting transplant candidacy.
