Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is recognized as a patient centered modality for End Stage Kidney Disease worldwide. Compared to In-Centre Hemodialysis, it gives the patients a better quality of life.   Rather than urgent start, 2 weeks rest after placement of PD catheter is preferred to avoid leaks.

Since I joined Shifa International hospital Islamabad, Pakistan, a gradual increase in CPAD population was seen.  We share our experience and  discuss the issues faced.
