Peritoneal Dialysis Program Organization and Management

The Nurse’s Role

  • Chapter

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been a successful mode of renal replacement therapy with a positive response from patients [1]; however, there has been a progressive decline in patient recruitment for this self-care modality and in the total number of PD patients in the United States [2, 3]. This has contributed to a lack of clinical experience and expertise in PD, and loss of the infrastructure crucial for successful implementation of PD therapy. This is both a cause for concern and a distinct challenge.
