Elderly Diabetic Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis
Advances in Peritoneal Dialysis, 10/27/09

Passadakis P et al. – Studies conducted to establish long–term outcome in elderly diabetic patients undergoing chronic RRT have been inconclusive. However, in comparisons with younger patients, older age has constantly been shown to be a negative factor associated with lower survival in both diabetic and nondiabetic dialysis patients. Also, the higher incidence of comorbidity in elderly diabetic patients at dialysis initiation—onto either PD or HD—may increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Short–term patient and technique survival (3 – 5 years) for diabetic patients on PD has greatly improved over recent years.
