Peritoneal Dialysis in Young Adults: A Mixed-Methods Study
Young adults are at higher risk of transitioning to HD owing to both transplant failure and complications with PD. Challenges of PD have been underestimated, and there is a need to educate young adults well on all dialysis options. Additional support including mental health support, peer support, and support during life changes, such as moving out of their family home, is recommended.
