Gravity assisted continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD) in children with acute kidney injury by Nourse, Peter

“…We previously demonstrated increased ultrafiltration and clearances using continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD) in children with AKI, however the technique described required expensive high-volume CKRT pumps to circulate fluid, as well as high level technical expertise, limiting its utility in resource-constrained settings. Identifying safe, effective and low-cost techniques for CFPD may improve access to dialysis for children with AKI in low-resource settings.…”
