Eearly impact of incremental peritoneal dialysis

Objective To investigate the early impact of incremental peritoneal dialysis.Methods 109 new peritoneal dialysis patients treated with incremental peritoneal dialysis were included in the present study.Clinical data,dialysis adequacy and nutritional status were evaluated at the initiation of dialysis and at 3 months after PD.Results The peritoneal dialysis patients achieved good results in the dialysis adequacy and nutrition at the end of the 3rd month.The patients' comorbidities reduced.BP and blood work improved significantly during the first 3 months.Conclusion Our results suggest that incremental PD improve patients clinical status even at the early stage of dialysis.
