Peritoneal transport status and first episode of peritonitis: a large cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: Baseline hypoalbuminemia and a higher peritoneal transport status are risk factors for the first episode of peritonitis. Factors including male gender, hypoalbuminemia, and residing in rural areas are associated with technique failure, while hypoalbuminemia and age (>65years) are predictors of the overall mortality in PD patients. Nevertheless, the peritoneal transport status does not predict technique failure or overall mortality of PD patients.PMID:34233593 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2021.1949350
