Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a well-established renal replacement therapy for patients with acute renal failure (ARF). Among its advantages are hemodynamic stability, avoidance of systemic anticoagulation, less labor intensive, and no need for high-tech machines. Several clinical studies suggest that outcomes of patients with acute kidney failure treated with peritoneal dialysis are quite comparable to those for hemodialysis. Continuous equilibrated peritoneal dialysis is the most commonly adopted form, during which fluid and solute removal can be increased by increasing the cycle frequency and glucose content in dialysate. With high-volume peritoneal dialysis, the Kt/Vurea achieved can be as high as with standard intermittent hemodialysis. The present chapter also discusses prevention and management of complications arising from acute peritoneal dialysis.
