Abstract
The Importance of Residual Renal Function in Peritoneal Dialysis
Highlights
Renal residual function (RRF) is defined like the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) maintained by patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) after being included in some dialysis technique [1]
RRF is lost over time, so a periodic monitoring is essential, which will force us to progressively increase the dose of prescribed dialysis as it is lost [1]
RRF has been linked to some benefits, which are related to a decrease in morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular origin, which translates into an increase in quality of life
Summary
Renal residual function (RRF) is defined like the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) maintained by patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) after being included in some dialysis technique [1]. Throughout this review the most relevant aspects of RRF in peritoneal dialysis (PD) its benefits, its relationship with dialysis adequacy, survival in the technique will be analyzed, concluding with a summary of the most important keys for the preservation of it. Additive Effect of RRF on the Dialysis Dose It contributes decisively to the elimination of sodium and water, since it helps the clearance of solutes of small and medium molecular weight.
