Application and prognosis of acute peritoneal dialysis in neonates / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Peritoneal dialysis is the most common form of renal replacement therapy in neonates.Due to its technical simplicity and compliance with neonatal physiological characteristics, peritoneal dialysis, especially acute peritoneal dialysis(APD), has been paid increasing attention in clinical practice in recent years.APD in neonates can be effective in treating critical diseases such as renal failure and metabolic disturbances.Despite the increasingly extensive application of APD, existing clinical practice shows a relatively high rate of complications and mortality in APD neonates.In this article, the application, prognosis and related factors of APD in neonates were reviewed.
