Peritoneal Dialysis in Asia

چکیده
Background: There is a growing demand of dialysis in Asia for end-stage renal failure patients. Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure in many countries in Asia. Summary: The growth of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in Asia is significant and seeing a good trend. With the enhanced practices of PD, the quality of care in PD in Asia is also improved. Overall, PD and hemodialysis (HD) are comparable in clinical outcome. There is a global trend in the reduction of peritonitis rates and Asian countries also witness such improvement. The socio-economic benefits of PD for endstage renal failure patients in both urban and rural areas in the developed and developing regions of Asia are an important consideration. This can help to reduce the financial burden of renal failure in addressing the growing demand of patients on dialysis. Initiatives should be considered to further drive down the cost of PD in Asia. Key Messages: Growing demand for dialysis by an increasing number of endstage renal failure patients requires the use of a cost-effective quality dialysis modality. PD is found to be comparable to HD in outcome and quality. In most countries in Asia, PD should be more cost-effective than HD. A ‘PD-first’ or a ‘PD as first considered therapy’ policy can be an overall strategy in many countries in Asia in managing renal failure patients, Received: August 3, 2015 Accepted: August 4, 2015 Published online: September 11, 2015 Prof. Philip Kam-Tao Li CUHK Carol & Richard Yu PD Research Center, Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Prince of Wales Hospital, Chinese University of Hong Kong Hong Kong, SAR (China) E-Mail philipli @ cuhk.edu.hk © 2015 S.

The cost barrier to peritoneal dialysis in the developing world--an Asian perspective.
Countries in Asia vary significantly in culture and socioeconomic status. Dialysis costs and reimbursement structures are significant factors in decisions about the rates and modalities of renal replacement therapy. From our survey of Asian nephrologists conducted in 2001, a number of observations can be made. In many developing countries, the annual cost of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dia...
متن کاملCorrelational studies on insulin resistance and leptin gene polymorphisms in peritoneal dialysis patients
Objective(s):The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and leptin (LEP) gene polymorphisms in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Materials and Methods: From July 1, 2011 to August 1, 2011, patients who received chronic PD were chosen and divided into three groups (DM, high HOMR-IR, and low HOMR-IR). Two PCR products of LEP were sequenced and aligne...
