This webinar coorganised with the ISN explores the key principles in individualizing Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) prescription for improved patient outcomes. It delves into the intricate workings of the peritoneum as a dialysis membrane and provides insights into assessing peritoneal membrane function and factors contributing to peritoneal membrane dysfunction in clinical practice. It explains how to tailor dialysis prescriptions and management based on peritoneal membrane characteristics and genetic characteristics. The second half of the session covers the essential determinants of the longevity of PD and the primary factors influencing the transition to hemodialysis. Additionally, the session highlights sources of unwarranted variation in PD practice, empowering healthcare professionals to enhance the quality of care provided to PD patients.
