Purpose: To analyze and compare survival of patients initially treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: We used data from the French REIN registry. We included all patients aged 18 years or more who started dialysis between 1st January 2004 and 12 December 2012 in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region (PACA). These patients were followed up until 30 June 2014. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier technique and tested using the log-rank test. Variables predictive of all-cause mortality were determined using Cox regression models. The propensity score was used.
Main Results: Survival was similar between initial dialysis modalities: PD and HD, even after adjusting for the propensity score. But, when we exclude the patients who had switched from one technique of dialysis to another, survival was better in HD patients. According to the multivariate analysis, advanced age and the lack of walking autonomy appear to be associated with an increase in mortality in dialysis patients. But, the presence of hypertension improve the survival in this cohort.
Conclusion: The survival is similar between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Background: The beneficial impact of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement following cardiopulmonary bypass in young infants has been demonstrated. But the indications to start early peritoneal dialysis are not agreed upon.
Methods: This retrospective single center study was conducted to evaluate the performance of a clinical strategy for early PD start.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) training uses computer-generated simulations that enable users to engage with immersive virtual environments, simulating real-world activities or therapeutic exercises. This technology is increasingly recognized as a promising intervention to address the physical and psychological challenges faced by dialysis patients, who frequently experience diminished physical function, social isolation, and emotional distress associated with prolonged treatment regimens. Given the increasing prevalence of dialysis patients and the limitations of conventional rehabilitation approaches, VR presents a novel, interactive method that has the potential to enhance patient well-being and improve quality of life.

Background: Neonates are prone to experiencing acute kidney injury (AKI) and metabolic irregularities. Although hemodialysis is a primary treatment for these conditions, its utilization is not prevalent in the Ningxia Autonomous Region in China. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) presents itself as an alternative with benefits such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and minimal technical complexity compared to hemodialysis.

Baclofen is a gamma-aminobutyric acid agonist that is commonly and widely used for the treatment of muscle spasticity. Given its predominant kidney excretion, patients with reduced kidney function are at particular risk of drug accumulation and toxicity, with neurotoxicity in the form of drowsiness, encephalopathy, seizures, and coma being the most reported clinical features. In addition to the importance of early identification of baclofen toxicity and drug discontinuation, dialysis can effectively accelerate baclofen elimination given its small molecule weight, and the relatively low volume of distribution and weak protein binding.

The occurrence of anterior abdominal wall ulcer at the site of the peritoneal catheter (PC) is one of the rarest complications of peritoneal dialysis (PD). When present, it is mainly caused by which respond well to vancomycin therapy. Despite well-conducted therapy, there is a tendency to relapse and induce peritonitis, which makes it necessary to remove the PC and change the dialysis model of treatment and/or re-insert the catheter at another place to preserve PD as a treatment method.
