#3713 Integrated conservative therapy-low dose peritoneal dialysis in patients with severe CKD (I-COPE CKD): multicentre prospective controlled study in Italian Nephrology Units Open
Background and Aims The effectiveness of nutritional and pharmacological treatment in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) decreases with worsening of renal function due to the onset of resistance to the conservative managem…

#3628 Rationale and study design of EXCITE, a pilot study to evaluate safety and efficacy of PolyCore, a ternary combination of xylitol, L-carnitine and polydextrIn, to treat end-stage kidney disease patients starting peritoneal dialysis Open
Background Incremental Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a strategy for initiating PD that aims to reduce dialysis burden and, consequently, improve patients’ therapy acceptance and quality of life. Incremental PD may help to preserve diuresis, …

#2969 One-year longitudinal changes in nutritional parameters associated with low-protein diets in patients starting with incremental PD Open
Background and Aims Starting peritoneal dialysis (PD) with an incremental approach, that is, a low dose of PD (1-2 dwells a day in continuous ambulatory PD and until 5 sessions a week in automated PD) based on residual kidney function, is …

P1170ENCAPSULATING PERITONEAL SCLEROSIS: ARE CALCINEURIN INHIBITORS A RISK FOR PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS UNDERGOING RENAL TRANSPLANTATION? Open
Background and Aims Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but severe complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Its prevalence, ranging from 0.7 to 3.3%, and its reported mortality is 25-55%. Post-transplantation encapsulating …

P1527SURVIVAL COMPARISON:HEMODIALYSIS VS PERITONEAL DIALYSIS: TEN YEARS OBSERVATIONAL STUDY Open
Background and Aims Survival comparison between peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) is still controversial. While some retrospective studies have shown better survival in PD, particularly in the first year, others have not ident…

Incremental peritoneal dialysis: a 10 year single-centre experience Open
IncrPD is a safe modality to start PD; compared to stPD, it shows similar survival rates, significantly less hospitalization, a trend towards lower peritonitis incidence and slower reduction of renal function.
