Younger Patients

Older patients on dialysis have unique needs and characteristics and their outcomes vary from that of their younger counterparts. Comparatively fewer will start or be maintained on peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared to younger patients, despite the fact that hemodialysis is often poorly tolerated. Barriers to PD for older patients include poor vision, frailty, cognitive dysfunction, accommodation issues, and a bias from renal teams that older patients cannot do PD. The development of assisted PD can overcome many of these barriers. The ability of older patients to use PD as their dialysis modality should not be determined by whether they live in an area where the nephrologist is a PD enthusiast. All patients should be given nonbiased information so they can choose the dialysis modality that gives them the best quality of life and suits their and their family's lifestyle.

Better Than

Many older patients do not cope well with hemodialysis, yet the proportion of older patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) is considerably lower than for younger patients. This is despite the fact that clinical outcome studies show that older patients cope as well as, if not better than, younger patients on PD. Furthermore, the North Thames Dialysis Study, a prospective study of patients ≥70 years old, has shown that survival, hospitalization, and quality of life were identical for patients on hemodialysis and patients on PD.
