Successful peritoneal dialysis for the end-stage kidney disease associated with Prader –Willi syndrome: a case report

In this report, we experienced o ne case of patient with PWS suffering from ESKD due to DKD who started PD as an initial RRT and succeeded to continue for total of 40 months. The patient was 37-year-old man at the time of initiation of dialysis. PD was chosen for RRT because we suspected that he might have more technical difficult ies for continuing HD. After several episodes of peritonitis, he successfully continues PD without peritonitis for next 27 months until the present time with good support by his family member. To our best knowledge, this is the first reported case of ESKD associated with PWS who was successfully tr eated with PD for long period.
