Outcome of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: a National Retrospective Study Based on Two French Registries (the French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry and the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network).

Overview

Pathological features of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney disease (ADPKD) include enlarged kidney volume, a higher frequency of digestive diverticulitis and abdominal wall hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyze survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients treated with PD.

Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyze survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients treated with PD. We conducted two retrospective studies on patients starting dialysis between 2000 and 2010, and based on two French registries: The French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) and The French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (RDPLF).
