8 Why is a PD catheter preferable to a CVC? PD catheters have lower infection rate than CVC Superior early survival (debated) Better outcome after renal transplantation Lower risk of HBV and HCV infections Better QOL and autonomy Preservation of vascular real estate Ref: Ishani et al, KI 68:311, 2005; Foley et al, JASN 15:1038, 2004; Biesen et al, JASN 11:116, 2000; Rubin et al JAMA 291:697, 2004; Kutner et al, NDT 20:2159, 2005 Access Related Infection in the USRDS Wave 2 Study PC AVF PD HR 95%CI PC TC AVG AVF 1 Ref Ishani PD et 0.96 al, KI :311, Why is a PD catheter preferable to a CVC? PD catheters have lower infection rate than CVC, comparable to AVFs Superior early survival (debated) Better outcome after renal transplantation Lower risk of HBV and HCV infections Better QOL and autonomy Preservation of vascular real estate Discussion Points The CVC Problem The Dark Side of CVCs Why is a PD catheter preferable to a CVC? Strategy s for CVC avoidance Barriers to PD selection PD in the early and late referred CKD patient AVF placement in the PD patient Strategies for Avoiding CVC Role of Nephrologist: Early referral for AVF placement (egfr rule, 6 m before use) Patient related factors: Early education Role of Vascular Surgeon: Training in surgical techniques Prompt intervention by Interventionalist Role of Insurance Industry Peritoneal Dialysis as bridge therapy Discussion Points The CVC Problem The Dark Side of CVCs Why is a PD catheter preferable to a CVC?

9 Barriers to PD Selection Survey of 1365 patients starting HD in Network 18 1/3 of patients were unaware of their kidney disease and saw a nephrologist <4 months before HD 1/2 of patients were presented with treatment options either after or <1 month before the first HD 2/3 of patients were not presented with PD as a treatment option Discussion Points The CVC Problem The Dark Side of CVCs Why is a PD catheter preferable to a CVC? Strategy s for CVC avoidance Barriers to PD selection PD in the early and late referred CKD patient AVF placement in the PD patient Mehrotra et al, KI 68:378, 200 Early Referral and Selection of PD as a Treatment Modality Early referral defined as first visit to a nephrologist 4 months before initiation of dialysis Early referral combined with a responsible, well- balanced presentation of therapeutic options is associated with increased selection of PD as the initial therapy Who is more likely to select PD over HD? Young age, white race, fewer co-morbid conditions Employed, married, living with someone, more autonomous or more accomplished educationally Seen earlier (>4 months) and more frequently (> 2 visits) by a Nephrologist Ref: Prichard, PDI 1996; USDS Wave 2, AJKD 1997; Obrador & Pereira, AJKD 1998; Schmidt et al, AJKD 1998; Diaz-Buxo, PDI 1998; Van Biesen et al, PDI 1999 Stack A, JASN 13:1279,200 Can PD be Initiated in the Late-Referred ESRD Patient (no vascular access or immature AVF)? 52 patients with ESRD started on 12-hour APD Coiled, double-cuffed Tenkhoff catheters inserted by open surgery under local anesthesia and without the use of prophylactic antibiotics Exceptionally good surgical support 7 days a week Standard prescription for acute APD was: 12h overnight, total volume 10L with maximum dwell volume 1.2L (BW<60 Kg) or 14L with maximum dwell volume 1.5L (BW>60Kg), tidal volume 50-75% Supine at night, free to walk during dry day Povlsen & Ivarson, NDT 200 Comparison of Acute vs Planned PD Acute Planned P 52(%) 52(%) Infectious complications 10 (19.2) 11 (21.2) NS Mechanical complications 15 (28.9) 4 (7.7) <0.01 Surgical replacement 10 (19.2) 2 (3.9) < PD technique survival at 3 mo. 39/52 (75) 45/52 (86.5) NS PD technique survival, censored for death & transplantation 39/45 (86.7) 45/50 (90) NS Povlsen & Ivarson, NDT 20 9

10 Discussion Points The CVC Problem The Dark Side of CVCs Why is a PD catheter preferable to a CVC? Strategy s for CVC avoidance Barriers to PD selection PD in the early and late referred CKD patient AVF placement in the PD patient PD Patients Can Benefit from a Back Up AVF Permanent transfer from PD to HD: Recurrent peritonitis, inadequate small solute clearance (uremia), UF failure (volume XS, HTN, CHF) and patient burn out Temporary transfer from PD to HD: Volume overload, hernia repair, intra-abdominal abdominal surgery AVF should be placed at the time of or soon after PD catheter placement to allow maturation Having an AVF will avoid the placement of a CVC Conclusions Yes, it is possible to place a PD catheter as a CVC avoidance strategy It involves education of the patient and in some instances the nephrologist In some instances the patient may choose to stay on PD permanently Patients on PD may benefit from having a back up AVF ULTRASOUND AND HEMODIALYSIS ACCESS Vandana Dua Niyyar, MD Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, Emory University UTILITY OF ULTRASOUND AVF: Pre-operative arterial & venous AVF A Maturity Stenosis Angioplasty Thrombosis Clot Burden Steal syndrome AVG: Stenosis Angioplasty PseudoaneurysmP d Peri-graft infection Central Venous Catheters: Placement 10

Combining the two variables, the chance that it would be adequate was 95% versus 33% if neither of the criteria were met.
