WCN25-1413 COMPARING THE OUTCOMES OF URGENT START AND CONVENTIONAL START PERITONEAL DIALYSIS : A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS FROM A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN SOUTH INDIA
As patient survival on long-term maintenance hemodialysis has continually improved in recent years, multiple vascular access failure necessitating urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (USPD) is becoming more commonplace. This study is aimed at examining the indications, complications, technique survival and mortality of patients who were initiated on urgent-start peritoneal dialysis in our centre. We further aimed to compare infective and non-infective complications, technique survival and patient survival between urgent-start and conventional-start peritoneal dialysis patients.
