Peritoneal dialysis in orthotopic liver transplantation recipients.

CONCLUSION: There appears to be no specific concern related to liver transplant patients undergoing PD. Peritonitis and mortality rates were no different from other solid organ recipients or even from the general PD population. The hepatic graft was never threatened, even during peritonitis. Therefore, these patients should not be denied the option of PD. PMID: 29162680 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
