Peritoneal Membrane Physiology and Prescription Management
Date: Tuesday, September 28, 2021

Prescribing chronic PD therapy is part science and part art. The science of the prescription is in the understanding of the patient’s membrane transport status, ultrafiltration and adequacy requirements, and residual kidney function. The art of a PD prescription is in designing a regimen that supports long-term therapy maintenance. This presentation will review salient concepts to achieving an appropriate prescription and ensure long-term success on PD
PD Catheter and Placement Techniques
Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2021
Time: 9:00 AM PT | 10:00 AM MT | 11:00 AM CT | 12:00 PM ET
By: David Wernsing, MD FACS
Successful peritoneal dialysis therapy depends upon the presence of a functional and durable long-term access to the peritoneal cavity. Current PD catheters can be found in a range of materials, configurations, lengths and are placed by a variety of procedures. This presentation will review PD catheters and best demonstrated placement techniques.
PD Catheter Placement Using Ultrasound & Fluoroscopic Guidance
Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2021
Time: 10:00 AM PT | 11:00 AM MT | 12:00 PM CT | 1:00 PM ET
By: Ahmed Kamel Abdel Aal, MD, PhD, FSIR
Image guided percutaneous placement of peritoneal catheters is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective alternative to blind or open surgical placement. This presentation details the percutaneous approach to placing peritoneal catheters using sonographic and fluoroscopic guidance. More than 50 photos of this placement technique are highlighted and will be reviewed in this session.
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Retention
Date: Thursday, October 21, 2021
Time: 11:00 AM PT | 12:00 PM MT | 1:00 PM CT | 2:00 PM ET
By:
Marcos Rothstein, MD
Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine
Medical Director of Dialysis Services
Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri
This presentation discusses the reasons why patient retention on PD is important and will review some important concepts that may help patients stay on therapy.
Incremental PD: Could Less Initial Dialysis Mean More For Patient Outcomes?
Date: Tuesday, October 26, 2021
Time: 9:00 AM PT | 10:00 AM MT | 11:00 AM CT | 12:00 PM ET

Due to consistent global survival evidence and enhanced financial incentives, PD has grown at a faster rate than the number of patients being treated for kidney failure over the past decade. In the wake of AAKHI and its mandatory ETC model, the US is expecting a further boost in PD growth, and providers want to ensure patients continue to receive high quality care at home. The latest ISPD guidelines and KDOQI commentary support Incremental PD as part of a person-centered, goal-directed care model, tailored to the individual needs of the patient.
