Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis as chronic renal replacement therapy requires an organization to cover all relevant aspects needed to perform the treatment according to quality standards. The day-to-day management of such program is usually performed by the nursing team. In this chapter, a review is given of important issues of organization and management. These include the structure and function of a PD program, standard operating procedures, the interdisciplinary healthcare team, patient intake, patient education and training, patient follow-up, long-term management, and a program for quality improvement.
