Severe uterovaginal prolapse and start of peritoneal dialysis: Role of colpocleisis surgery. Report of two cases.

Utero-vaginal prolapse is a common condition in the female population. In addition to well-known predisposing risk factors malnutrition, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and dialysis technique may favour its occurrence or aggravation, especially in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Depending on severity, a relative contraindication to peritoneal dialysis (PD) could be considered.

Precision Medicine in Peritoneal Dialysis: An Expert Opinion on the Application of the Sharesource Platform for the Remote Management of Patients.

The management of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has been constantly evolving over the last decade with the development of targeted approaches. In this field, telemedicine and remote monitoring are based on the availability of new cyclers that allow for bidirectional communication (between patient and physician) and for the application of the Sharesource cloud-based platform. These technologies allow patients with ESKD to undergo automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) at home.
