A planned start appears to be the best strategy for initiating peritoneal dialysis (PD) in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), but an early start is a good alternative if a planned start is not possible, suggests a Singapore study. In addition, catheter migration may be more frequent with early-start PD, but it does not seem to affect technique survival.
