WCN25-3437 CLINICAL OUTCOMES AND COMPLICATIONS OF CATHETER REPLACEMENT BY SURGICAL METHOD BY NEPHROLOGISTS FOR MALFUNCTIONING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS CATHETERS
Technique failure in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients due to malfunctioning CAPD catheters is a common issue affecting upto 20% of patients. The catheter revision or replacement surgery is usually done by surgeons. We present our experience of surgically replaced PDCs by nephrologists in this subset of patients.
