Exercise perceptions and practices of people receiving peritoneal dialysis: An international cross-sectional survey

CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge gaps suggest that education for both healthcare providers and patients is needed regarding the practice of exercise for people living with PD. Common areas of confusion include the maximum weight a person should lift, whether exercise was safe with or without intrabdominal PD fluid in situ and whether swimming is allowed. Further research is needed to provide patients with evidence-based recommendations rather than defaulting to restricting activity.PMID:38562120 | DOI:10.1177/08968608241237686
