 - Both Now And For Future kidney replacement options

Prioritizing PD gives patients the clinical advantages for the best start to their kidney replacement therapy journey

- Pre-transplant PD is associated with lower 5-year mortality after transplant than HD1

Meta-analysis methodology

  • Two independent authors searched English-language literature from January 1, 1980, through August 31, 2014, national conference proceedings, and reference lists
  • The authors used combinations of terms related to dialysis (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or renal replacement therapy), kidney transplant, and outcomes
  • Studies were included if they measured any of the 3 post transplant study outcomes in both pre-transplant HD and PD

This meta-analysis suggests that PD may be the preferred dialysis modality for patients who expect to receive a renal transplant1
