HD
Background
PD vs HD has always been a controversial topic among patient who are receiving renal
replacement therapy, as the two carries both risk and reward, depending on the situation
and timing.
In HD, blood is pumped counter-currently to a dialysis solution within an
extracorporeal membrane. This can be performed intermittently (3-4 hrs during the
day) or in a continuously (24 hrs) fashion depending on hemodynamic stability goals.
While PD uses the patients peritoneal membrane as the selective filter, and dialysis
fluid containing dextrose is instilled into the peritoneal cavity, therefore, glycemic
control is crudial in PD patient.
Advantages and disadvantages of PD vs. HD
PD HD
More control over schedule. Care given by trained professionals.
The luxury to stay at home while given care. More efficient than PD.
Ability to travel with limited preparation. (Though
this advantage is questionable during times of an

ongoing pandemic) Clinical visit ~3 times a week.
Clinical visit 1~2 times a month. Potential risk of infections like bacteremia
No “off” days. (especially when using catheters).
Potential risk of infection and/or peritonitis Less schedule flexibility.
Protruding access point, aesthetically obnoxious. Depressing atmosphere in HD centers.
Requires self-monitoring care.
Vascular access surgery required.
Risk of weigh gain from glucose solution.

Introduction
Data of 398,940 patients on dialysis across the US is collected, and further divided into
12 groups by:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2615722/
Result
There was a statistically and clinically significant interaction among PD risk, age, and comorbidity: The benefit
of PD in the first 12 month was particularly great in the <60-yr group without comorbidities.

Result
Outcomes among Modality “Switchers”
Mortality of D90-D365 → The group with the lowest mortality during the 90- to 365-d period
were those who were treated with PD at both day 0 and day 90.
Mortality of > 1 year → Compared with those who were on HD treatment both at 90 and 365 d, all other
groups had an increased risk, particularly those who changed from HD at 90 d to PD by 365 d
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2615722/
120 patients with acute tubular necrosis (ATN) were assigned to HVPD or DHD
14
HVPD and DHD groups were similar for :
Age
Gender
Sepsis
Hemodynamic instability
Severity of AKI (APACHE II)
Pre-dialysis BUN
Creatinine
Cause of AKI
Etiology of ATN
Indication of dialysis
Exclusion :
< 18 ys
functional azotemia
urinary tract obstruction
acute interstitial nephritis
rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
history of chronic renal insufficiency
renal transplantation
pregnancy 15
severe hypercatabolism
Result
PD vs HD were similar in :
Metabolic control
-BUN
-Serum creatinine
-Bicarbonate levels
-Sodium
-Potassium
-Glucose
-Evolution of plasma
albumin level
Infection
Mechanical complications
16
Mortality rate and renal function recovery were similar
PD was associated with a significantly shorter time to the recovery of renal function
17
Conclusion
HVPD and DHD are effective methods for treating AKI patients,
allowing satisfactory metabolic control and similar patient outcome

Careful investigations in recent years suggest that PD patient survival
equals or is slightly shorter than that of patients who undergo HD.
It is now widely accepted that health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important outcome of health care rather than
considering only the mortality and also one on which patients base treatment decisions.

Result
Change in overall health status was
determined by increases (improved)
or decreases (worsened) in domain
scores during 1 yr. after baseline.
Catheter usage
→ Using of both tunneled and non-tunneled catheters is associated
with a higher mortality rate.

Conclusion
研究顯示在療程早期, PD 基於某些原因死亡率會較選擇 HD
的族群低,但若是長遠來看 HD 患者的生存率則會略高於 PD 的患者,
在健康狀態、生理功能的改善方面也是 HD 略勝一籌,然而不論是採取
PD 或 HD ,其實都能很好的改善這些患者們的生活品質。
而兩者因為其療程進行方式的特色,對病患生活型態的影響也
有所不同,其背後影相因素甚為錯綜複雜,並不能以單一項目的差異就
斷言哪種治療較優,病患必須要對自己已經失去健康的事實有所認知,
且要依據自身所處環境、生活習慣等面向綜合考量,選擇對自己影響較
小、較能接受的療程,如此不論是生理或是心理上,都能回歸相對健康
的狀態,而身為醫療提供者所該做到,就是在這個過程協助病患、提供
正確和完整的醫療諮詢,並從專業角度了解病患的狀況和需求。
