["Quality" Peritoneal Dialysis].

Evaluation of a peritoneal dialysis (PD) program in a nephrology center involve qualitative and quantitative indicators on clinical outcomes. International guidelines recommend monitoring outcomes of peritoneal catheter implantation, catheter-related infections, peritonitis and purification adequacy. However, none of these parameters can determine the organizational efficiency of a peritoneal dialysis (PD) program. It is desirable that centers with PD programs serving ≤14 patients, once capable of performing the peritoneal equilibration test, either safeguard their expertise or establish collaborations with nephrology units that have well-established PD programs.
