Abstract

Introduction

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a mode of therapy in which the patients themselves actively participate in the care of their own disease. We examined a possible association of salt reduction before starting dialysis with PD technique survival.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 42 patients who started PD between April 2014 and March 2018. Participants were allocated to two groups based on their estimated daily salt intake before the initiation of dialysis: patients with an estimated daily salt intake <6 g/day were allocated to the appropriate salt intake group (AS group), while the rest were assigned to the high salt intake group (HS group).

Results

During a median follow-up of 47 months, PD technique survival, defined by death or transition to hemodialysis, was significantly lower in the HS group compared to the AS group.

Conclusion

Successful salt reduction before dialysis introduction is associated with better PD technique survival.
