Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a form of KRT that offers flexibility and autonomy to patients with ESKD. It is associated with lower costs compared with hemodialysis in many countries. Unlike mechanical complications that typical arise early in the course of treatment, noninfectious, nonmechanical complications often present late in patients who are established on PD. In this review, we first discuss abnormal-appearing drained dialysate, including hemoperitoneum, chyloperitoneum, and noninfectious cloudy dialysate. The underlying cause is frequently unrelated to PD. We then discuss encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, a rare complication of PD. Finally, we review metabolic changes associated with PD and methods to mitigate its effects.
