Predictors of Residual Renal Function Loss in Peritoneal Dialysis: Is Previous Renal Transplantation a Risk Factor
Advances in Peritoneal Dialysis, 10/21/09

Bernardo A et al. – In spite of the limitations typically found in the study and others, the findings suggest that, compared with PD–first patients, PD–after– RT patients experience similar short–term RRF protection without a shorter peritonitis–free survival. Diabetes seems to be an unmodifiable baseline epidemiologic risk factor for development of anuria after PD start, but further multicenter prospective studies are needed to examine whether good glycemic control and other modifiable determinants of RRF loss can be identified.
