The prevalence of cardiovascular disease and left ventricular hypertrophy in these patients is 40% and 75%, respectively [2]. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of dea...

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 hemodialy...
