Peritoneal dialysis for acute kidney injury.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on moderate (mortality, recovery of kidney function), low (infectious complications), or very low certainty evidence (correction of acidosis) there is probably little or no difference between PD and extracorporeal therapy for treating AKI. Fluid removal (low certainty) and weekly delivered Kt/V (very low certainty) may be higher with extracorporeal therapy. PMID: 29199769 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
