Patient Selection for Peritoneal Dialysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Surgical Aspects of Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is underutilized in many industrialized countries. This underutilization is secondary to host of issues, including lack of modality education, poor identification of PD eligibility, lack of efforts to overcome barriers to self- care and incorrect exclusion of patients with certain demographics. This chapter will identify true contraindications to PD and differentiate barriers to performing PD versus contraindications to PD. It will also identify patient groups that are often not offered PD because of perceived contraindications that can successfully be offered this modality. With proper understanding of PD eligibility and medical/surgical contraindications to PD, this modality can successfully performed in most End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) patients.
