Abstract

With the global rise in end-stage kidney disease cases, peritoneal dialysis (PD) has become a critical treatment modality for maintaining patients' quality of life. This narrative review aims to summarize and analyze the current applications and effectiveness of smart medical technologies in PD treatment, focusing on patient monitoring, treatment optimization, and healthcare delivery. This review examines the integration of smart medical technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, in the management of PD. Key advancements discussed include: 1) IoT-enabled sensors for real-time monitoring of ultrafiltration volume and dialysate turbidity, enabling early detection of infection risks; 2) machine learning algorithms for personalized dialysis prescription adjustments to preserve residual kidney function; and 3) telemedicine platforms that enhance physician-patient collaboration and reduce the need for hospital visits. These innovations represent a significant step toward precision and intelligent management of PD, improving operational efficiency and selected outcomes. Future research should focus on addressing challenges related to data security, algorithm transparency, and real-world clinical adoption.

期刊介绍： Kidney Research and Clinical Practice (formerly The Korean Journal of Nephrology; ISSN 1975-9460, launched in 1982), the official journal of the Korean Society of Nephrology, is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English. Its ISO abbreviation is Kidney Res Clin Pract. To provide an efficient venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to basic renal science and clinical practice, the journal offers open access (free submission and free access) and considers articles on all aspects of clinical nephrology and hypertension as well as related molecular genetics, anatomy, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, and immunology. In particular, the journal focuses on translational renal research that helps bridging laboratory discovery with the diagnosis and treatment of human kidney disease. Topics covered include basic science with possible clinical applicability and papers on the pathophysiological basis of disease processes of the kidney. Original researches from areas of intervention nephrology or dialysis access are also welcomed. Major article types considered for publication include original research and reviews on current topics of interest. Accepted manuscripts are granted free online open-access immediately after publication, which permits its users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of its articles to facilitate access to a broad readership. Circulation number of print copies is 1,600.
