Article Synopsis
- Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a less commonly used treatment option compared to hemodialysis (HD) for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and understanding patient knowledge about PD is vital for informed decision-making.
- A study involving 108 HD patients revealed that while many had heard of alternative treatments, only a small percentage understood PD and its benefits; misconceptions and lack of information contributed to its underutilization.
