Landmark studies relevant to the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis have recently been published. The Canada/USA peritoneal dialysis study has shown a relationship between clearance indices and patient survival rate, but the study is confounded by residual renal function. Registry data show conflicting results concerning survival rates on peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis. The complicated pathogenesis of malnutrition in dialysis patients is now becoming further appreciated.

D015996	Survival Rate	The proportion of survivors in a group, e.g., of patients, studied and followed over a period, or the proportion of persons in a specified group alive at the beginning of a time interval who survive to the end of the interval. It is often studied using life table methods.

D051437	Renal Insufficiency	Conditions in which the KIDNEYS perform below the normal level in the ability to remove wastes, concentrate URINE, and maintain ELECTROLYTE BALANCE; BLOOD PRESSURE; and CALCIUM metabolism. Renal insufficiency can be classified by the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE.
