Abstract

At the dialysis center of Brescia, with experience in peritoneal dialysis (PD) of more than 30 years, the incidence of PD is 35%. Despite this, the prevalence of PD has an apparently fixed cutoff at about 80 patients. This short paper synthesizes some possible solutions to increase penetration of PD.
