Unveiling the Intricacies: Exploring Stepwise Initiation of Peritoneal Dialysis in a Single-Center Setting.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant global health challenge, necessitating effective renal replacement therapies. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) offers a patient-friendly, home-based alternative to hemodialysis. The Stepwise Initiation of Peritoneal Dialysis (SIPD) method, used in the SPD group and involving a gradual introduction of PD, presents a potential advantage over traditional protocols, yet the scientific literature on its efficacy and safety is limited.
