ISN-ISPD Webinar: Precision Dialysis to Improve Long-term PD Outcomes

ISPD-ISN Webinar: 2023 update on the ISPD Catheter-related Infection Recommendations

1. To provide practical examples of how incremental PD can be prescribed 2. To distinguish between incremental PD and other PD strategies such as palliative or low clearance non-incremental PD 3.To appreciate how person-centered care principles can interact with incremental PD strategies

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important home-based dialysis modality for treatment of end stage kidney failure, typically varying from 5% to 20% use among all dialysis patients in many countries. This educational webinar will describe case scenarios addressing 2 important areas in PD patient care and related controversies: (1) treatment of peritonitis, and (2) optimizing fluid management. Discussion will include recent PDOPPS findings in how peritonitis cure rates differ greatly by causative organism type and type of antibiotic regimen used in treating certain classes of organisms, and recent ISPD recommendations and work by Davies et al concerning fluid management in PD patients.

Peritoneal dialysis for use in acute kidney injury has been shown to be as effective as other extracorporeal therapies even in critically ill patients in the ICU. There are a number advantages to the use of PD especially in low resource environments. This webinar will focus on the current evidence surrounding this topic as published in the latest ISPD guidelines for PD in AKI in late 2020. We will focus on the practical aspects as well as how to develop an acute PD program.
