Research summary
This is a prospective observational study in people treated with peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure to investigate whether estimated intraperitoneal pressure (eIPP) is correlated with non-infectious PD-related complications in end-stage renal failure patients. It looks to understand how both peritoneal dialysis complications (including fluid leaks and hernias) along with gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with eIPP in people treated with PD.
