Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) offers several clinical and lifestyle advantages for people on dialysis, such as less hemodynamic instability as well as autonomy from the rigid schedules of in-center hemodialysis (HD), making it particularly desirable for frail or elderly people (1,2). Staff-assisted PD, herein referred to as assisted PD, is not typically available in the United States but is an integral part of dialysis delivery in many countries with higher home dialysis penetration (1,2). Implementing assisted PD in the United States offers an opportunity to expand PD to more patients (1–3). We ran a pilot project to better understand the needs of patients and the requirements to enable further scaling of this approach in the United States.
