Decline in Residual Renal Function in Automated Compared with Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Summary Background and objectives We compared the decline of RRF in patients starting dialysis on APD with those starting on CAPD, because a faster decline on APD has been suggested. Design, setting, participants, & measurements NECOSAD patients starting dialysis on APD or CAPD with RRF at baseline were included and followed for 3 years. Residual GFR (rGFR) was the mean of urea and creatinine clearances. Differences in yearly decline of rGFR...
