The peritoneal dialysis techniques are tabulated according to the type of catheters, use of automated cyclers or manual exchanges, drainage system, and dialysate buffer. The peritonitis incidence listed is based on the rates reported in the studies. PD, peritoneal dialysis; NA, not available; EBP, extracorporeal blood purification.
a
The study compared cycler-based tidal PD with conventional PD using manual exchanges.
b
The study assessed differences in outcomes between bicarbonate and lactate-based PD fluids in AKI.
