Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Procedure & Physiology, Complications, and the Future Ahead” aims to compile an insightful collection of manuscript reviews centered around peritoneal dialysis (PD), a vital kidney replacement therapy for patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease.
This Special Issue will explore the current state of clinical practices and outcomes in peritoneal dialysis, highlighting its role in the management of kidney disease, as well as explore future challenges and current research. Topics to be discussed will include, but not be limited to: the intricacies of the PD procedure, modality options [Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) and Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD)], the development of more efficient dialysate solutions, and innovative approaches to minimize the risk of infections and other complications. Additionally, this issue will address outcomes and results of PD, focusing on its efficacy in waste removal, the impact on nutritional status and the quality of life it offers to patients.
We welcome you to submit your latest original articles or reviews to provide clinicians with the latest insights related to this field.
