WCN25-4353 Immediate Start Peritoneal Dialysis – Immediate outcomes and advantages

automated peritoneal dialysis.Ten frail patients were identified, representing 25.6% of the cohort.Compared to non-frail patients, frail patients were older (69.2 AE 12.9 vs. 51.5 AE 14.8 years, p0.001), had lower plasma creatinine levels (7.2 AE 2.8 vs. 9.9 AE 3.6 mg/dL, p0.046), lower plasma albumin levels (3.2 AE 0.5 vs. 3.7 AE 0.4 g/dL, p0.012), and a lower BSA (1.60 AE 0.17 vs. 1.76 AE 0.19 m 2 , p0.025).No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of weekly Kt/V, wCrCl, ferritin, or nPCR.Conclusions: In this cohort of peritoneal dialysis patients at Hospital Clnico de la Universidad de Chile, the prevalence of frailty was 25.6% based on the CFS.Frail patients were older, had lower BSA, and lower serum levels of albumin and creatinine, suggesting that this group may be associated with malnutrition and a higher degree of sarcopenia.Parameters such as weekly Kt/V, ferritin, wCrCl, and nPCR did not differ between the groups, indicating that these are not reliable longterm prognostic indicators in this population.Given that frailty is associated with reduced survival, this cohort will be followed prospectively for at least two years.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
