CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS FOR ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE: A CLINICAL CASE REPORT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Indications for peritoneal dialysis (PD) have undergone many changes. Previous medical barriers have been reconsidered, and recent data showed that this technique is feasible in patients with a variety of conditions. We presented a case of an elderly female patient who has been performing PD for 30 months despite having multiple complications and an initial assessment that PD might be unfeasible. The aim of the report is to demonstrate the importance of PD as a kidney replacement therapy and underline the role of interprofessional collaboration in patient management.
