IN-HOSPITAL MORTALITY IN CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS WITH END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE TREATED WITH HEMODIALYSIS VERSUS PERITONEAL DIALYSIS: A NATIONWIDE STUDY

摘要

Background: Cirrhotic patients often develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy in the form of hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). Studies comparing the outcomes and difference in in-hospital mortality between these 2 groups, particularly among those with ascites, are sparse. We set our objective to determine the dialysis modality with a better in-hospital survival rate among cirrhotic patients with ESRD (ESRD-cirrhosis).
