Exercise perceptions and practices of people receiving peritoneal dialysis: An international cross-sectional survey
CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge gaps suggest that education for both healthcare providers and patients is needed regarding the practice of exercise for people living with PD. Common areas of confusion include the maximum weight a person should lift, whether exercise was safe with or without intrabdominal PD fluid in situ and whether swimming is allowed. Further research is needed to provide patients with evidence-based recommendations rather than defaulting to restricting activity.PMID:38562120 | DOI:10.1177/08968608241237686 (Source: Peritoneal Dialysis International)

International variations in serum PTH and calcium levels and their mortality associations in peritoneal dialysis patients: Results from PDOPPS
CONCLUSIONS: A large proportion of PD patients in this multi-national study have calcium and/or PTH levels in ranges associated with substantially higher mortality. These observations point to the need to substantially improve MBD management in PD to optimise patient outcomes.LAY SUMMARY: Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (MBD) is a systemic condition, common in dialysis patients, that results in abnormalities in parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D metabolism. A large proportion of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in this current multi-national study had calcium and/or PTH levels in ran...
