Benefits of incremental PD #pdlive - better patient QOL

How do define incremental PD? #pdlive

Current evidence is poor but some exists #pdlive- treatment is different in all though

Data from @ANZDATARegistry #pdlive - definition of i cremate PD and who was offered it

Use of incremental PD increased over time #pdlive

Led to less peritonitis #pdlive but it’s only observational

Lower tx to HD and possibly reduction in death #pdlive

So in summary incremental PD may be useful for patients costs etc #pdlive
