Prognostic implications of predialysis patients' symptoms in peritoneal dialysis patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated that nausea and anorexia were the most important predialysis symptoms, which was associated with patients' short- and long-term mortality on PD treatment, respectively. The results indicated that predialysis evaluation and management of symptoms of nausea and anorexia may be a possible way to improve patients' outcome on PD. PMID: 33478321 [PubMed - in process]
