Outcome of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: a National Retrospective Study Based on Two French Registries (the French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry and the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network).
Outcome of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: a National Retrospective Study Based on Two French Registries (the French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry and the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network).
Pathological features of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney disease (ADPKD) include
 enlarged kidney volume, a higher frequency of digestive diverticulitis and abdominal wall
 hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis
 (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyze survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients
 treated with PD.

 hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis
 (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyze survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients
 treated with PD. We conducted two retrospective studies on patients starting dialysis between
 2000 and 2010, and based on two French registries: The French Renal Epidemiology and
 Information Network (REIN) and The French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (RDPLF).
Iinclusion criteria :

 -  Patients starting dialysis

 -  Patients included from the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN)
 and The French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry (RDPLF) exclusion criteria

 -  patients without diagnosis of nephropathy
