Abstract

Although end-stage renal disease is rare in infants, its development can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and only through the provision of experienced, multidisciplinary care can a favorable outcome be anticipated. Peritoneal dialysis is the renal replacement modality of choice for this age group and serves as an essential bridge until successful renal transplantation can occur. Here, we discuss the practice of peritoneal dialysis in infants, including the unique ethical and technical considerations facing pediatric nephrologists and caregivers. Additionally, we review current guidelines concerning nutrition as well as the literature on complications and outcomes.
