Prioritize PD To Offer A Strong Foundation

- 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

Pre-transplant PD was associated with lower risk of delayed graft function* compared with HD¹ (*unadjusted)

Chart showing Significant heterogeneity was observed for all outcomes

Six of the 16 studies demonstrated improvement of 5-year mortality in PD patients as compared to HD patients

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
