Constipation in PD is associated with increased risks of mechanical and infectious complications, such as poor drainage and fluid removal, catheter migration and peritonitis. A natural fibre supplement, psyllium husk, has been identified as a potential alternative therapy to minimise the risk of constipation for patients receiving PD.MethodsFIBRE-PD is a prospective parallel-arm open-label feasibility study in which patients on PD were 1:1 randomly assigned to receive either psyllium husk (intervention group) or continue routine Movicol<sup>®</sup> (control group) for four weeks (28 days). The primary outcome was feasibility, defined as successful recruitment of 60 patients, representing 70% of eligible PD patients. Secondary outcomes included adherence, retention, safety, bowel frequency and patient-reported outcomes (e.g., gastrointestinal symptom burden, quality of life).ResultsOverall, 96 patients were screened for eligibility. Sixty-six (69%) were deemed not eligible, mainly due to non-adherence to prescribed regular Movicol (<i>n = </i>41, 62%). Among 30 eligible patients, 20 patients (67% of eligible population) were successfully recruited into the study. The intervention group demonstrated high retention (77%), adherence rates (78%) and significant improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life compared to patients in the control group.

The International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM) and International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) joined forces to develop an inaugural practice recommendation on nutrition management in individuals receiving PD. The practice recommendation was developed by a globally representative group of nephrologists, dietitians and dialysis nurses. It aims to provide comprehensive clinical guidance on nutrition management to nephrologists, non-nephrologist physicians, dietitians, nurses and multidisciplinary care teams for implementation in individuals receiving PD to optimise their nutrition status, prevent and manage protein-energy wasting, promote a healthy dietary pattern, improve patient-centred outcomes, enabling them to live well on PD. A multidisciplinary education approach is promoted to improve patients' health, nutrition and food literacy in order for them to adopt a healthy dietary pattern and promote more individuals' engagement in self-managing their diets and nutrition. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used to evaluate the quality of evidence and grade practice recommendations. Practice points are developed based on expert consensus of health professionals.
