Outcomes and care priorities for older people living with frailty and advanced chronic kidney disease : a multiprofessional scoping review protocol (2021)
Journal Article

Reported outcomes for older people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) often focus on survival and mortality and little attention is paid to symptom burden and health-related quality of life. Recognising frailty and providing interventions tha...

International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis practice recommendations: prescribing high-quality goal-directed peritoneal dialysis (2020)
Journal Article

The International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis last published a guideline on prescribing peritoneal dialysis (PD) in 2006. This focused on clearance of toxins and used a measure of waste product removal by dialysis using urea as an example. This g...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is only one component of care for older multimorbid, frail and/or palliative patients. Goals of care should be determined for all patients by shared decision-making at the start of during time on PD. Burden of PD should be mi...

Prescribing high-quality peritoneal dialysis: moving beyond urea clearance (2020)
Journal Article

Urea removal in peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been a primary measure of dialysis adequacy, but its utility remains limited due to its poor correlation with the clearance of other important uraemic retention solutes and the low certainty of evidence re...
