October 22, 2020 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: Simulive
Session Description
Peritoneal dialysis is an important home therapy. Complications like peritonitis can lead to morbidity and mortality. Adequacy targets should not be just a numerical exercise. Patient-centered outcomes should be focused. Increasing numbers of elderly patients also pose challenges to the use of the modality. This session describes ways to increase the utility of peritoneal dialysis through patient-centered care.
Learning Objective(s)
- Discuss how guidelines and innovations can reduce peritonitis and improve outcomes
- Describe the effect of current target adequacy values on clinical outcomes
- List some common concerns of patients that are often neglected
- Explain how to increase the use of peritoneal dialysis for the benefit elderly patients with ESKD
Learning Pathway(s)
- Dialysis
- Chronic Kidney Disease
