COVID pandemic poses challenges to peritoneal dialysis patients, caretaker, and service provider to the PD patients as well. The chronic (PD) patients are trained to do the PD procedure at home, therefore can avoid in-center hospital visit unlike patients on hemodialysis. Thus, PD patients can avoid undue exposure to the novel coronavirus. The PD can be offered in COVID induced AKI patients, even in remote places where hemodialysis cannot be offered. The paper is aimed to provide guidelines about the safe use of PD and treatment of complications during the COVID pandemic.
新冠疫情给腹膜透析患者、护理人员以及腹膜透析患者的服务提供者都带来了挑战。慢性腹膜透析患者接受过在家进行腹膜透析操作的培训,因此与血液透析患者不同,他们可以避免前往医院中心。这样,腹膜透析患者就能避免过度暴露于新型冠状病毒。即使在无法提供血液透析的偏远地区,也可为因新冠导致急性肾损伤的患者提供腹膜透析。本文旨在提供关于在新冠疫情期间安全使用腹膜透析及治疗并发症的指南。
