WCN25-1005 PATIENT-DRIVEN FACTORS IN CHOOSING HD OR CAPD IN END-STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE: INSIGHTS FROM A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN NORTHEAST INDIA

End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) is the final, irreversible stage of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), where the patient needs renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. Dialysis encompasses two primary modalities: Hemodialysis (HD) and Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD). While clinical factors and physician recommendations are important in determining the most appropriate treatment option, patient driven factors also play a crucial role. Our study tried to identify these factors, ranging from socioeconomic conditions to lifestyle considerations, that impact the patient's choice between HD and CAPD.
