Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has long been considered an effective treatment modality for neonates and infants with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) and is the dialysis modality of choice for patients in this age group with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Its popularity and success largely derive from its simplicity and effectiveness as a means of removing solute and fluid in even the smallest patients and because it is a well-tolerated procedure by most patients.
