Sigogne M, et al. - Researchers used data from two French registries—the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) and the French language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (RDPLF)—to conduct two retrospective studies to assess outcomes in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). The investigators focused on survival and technique failure. Participants included patients who started dialysis between 2000 and 2010. According to findings, PD is a reasonable option for patients with ADPKD. In this study, only select patients with ADPKD were offered PD and there was no negative influence of PD on these patients’ overall survival. In addition, ADPKD status had no impact on PD technique failure.
