Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis is a viable alternative to hemodialysis for management of elderly patients requiring renal replacement therapy. Peritoneal dialysis confers several advantages over hemodialysis for the elderly--namely independence, home treatment and perhaps preservation of residual renal function. Although there are a few contraindications, these are minimal and can largely be overcome with attention to special training and the use of healthcare partners to perform the technique of peritoneal dialysis exchanges.
