Abstract

BACKGROUND: At present, most patients with end-stage kidney disease require urgent initiation of renal replacement therapy. The majority begin dialysis with a temporary hemodialysis catheter, which carries a high risk of complications. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend toward urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (PD), however, comparative data regarding its safety and outcomes remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to provide additional evidence in this area.


OBJECTIVES: To compare technique survival outcomes between Urgent-Start Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) versus Urgent-Start Hemodialysis (HD), and to evaluate secondary outcomes including patient survival and complications.


METHODS: This was an open-label randomized controlled trial conducted in patients with end-stage kidney disease at Surin Hospital between 2019 and 2024. A total of 210 patients were randomized to either the urgent-start HD or the urgent-start PD group (105 patients per group) and followed up at 6 weeks and 52 weeks.


RESULTS: The technique survival rate at 6 weeks was 92% in HD group versus 93% in PD group. At 52 weeks, the technique survival rate was 69% versus 66%, showing no significant difference (p>0.05). Six-week mortality was higher in the HD group compared with the PD group (6% vs. 0%), with statistical significance (p=0.029), while 52 weeks mortality did not differ significantly between the two groups (p=0.88).


CONCLUSIONS: Urgent-start peritoneal dialysis demonstrated higher short-term patient survival compared with urgent-start temporary hemodialysis, particularly within the first 6 weeks. Technique survival and overall patient survival at 52 weeks were not significantly different between the two modalities.
