PD vs.

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

→ Cause of ESRD: DM vs. non-DM
→ Presence of baseline comorbidity: None vs. one or more

Result

Younger patients without comorbidities had a mortality advantage with PD treatment in 90


to 365 day, but other groups did not. After 12 month, the use of PD at day 90 was
associated with significantly increased mortality in all groups.

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.

 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

Conclusion

 HVPD and DHD are effective methods for treating AKI patients,
allowing satisfactory metabolic control and similar patient outcome

 Adequate prescription of high volume CPD with a flexible PD catheter and an


automated PD cycler leads to outcomes comparable to those of DHD performed
six times per week

 HVPD and DHD can be considered as alternative forms of RRT in AKI

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.

• National, prospective cohort study,


Choices for Healthy Outcomes in Caring for ESRD (CHOICE) Study
• Participants completed the Choice Health Experience Questionnaire (CHEQ)
that included information on generic and dialysis specific HRQOL
• Of 1041 patients, 89% (698 HD patients and 230 PD patients)
completed a baseline CHEQ
• Of the 928 patients who completed a baseline
CHEQ, 585 also completed a CHEQ 1 yr. later

Result
Change in overall health status was
determined by increases (improved)
or decreases (worsened) in domain
scores during 1 yr. after baseline.

HD patients improved more in some aspects, such as sleep


(which for PD patients actually became worse over time) and
body image. At the end of 1 yr., patients on HD reported
significantly better sexual functioning than those on PD.

PD patients improved more on other dialysis-specific aspects


of life, such as financial well-being, and continued to have
higher scores for ability to travel, diet, and dialysis access.

Discussion
 Many studies have shown a changing risk over time, with an increase in the
mortality risk of PD compared with HD. Several factors may influence this.

 Better preservation of residual renal function


→ Residual renal function has been associated with a lower risk
for death among PD and HD patients.

 Catheter usage
→ Using of both tunneled and non-tunneled catheters is associated
with a higher mortality rate.

 The start point of the cohort


→ Exclusion of patients who did not survive 90 d may exclude patients
at risk for early mortality; if this group is more likely to be treated
with HD, then this would tend to advantage HD.

Discussion Adjusted odds ratios for improvement in overall health status on PD versus HD

The good news for patients on both modalities is that


health and general well-being should improve during
the first year of dialysis.

There do seem to be distinct advantages and


disadvantages to each of the two modalities that should
be explored with patients who are choosing between
them.
Physicians should be as explicit as possible in
describing specific tradeoffs and attempt to elicit
individual preferences for these aspects of quality of
life.

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。
