Abstract

An increasing number of elderly patients start dialysis. Despite peritoneal dialysis' potential benefits this technique is underutilized, particularly in the elderly. Recently, a debate entitled “Should peritoneal dialysis be the first option offered to the elderly who require renal re-placement therapy for continued longevity?” was published on Seminars in Dialysis.
