Table 3 Characteristics of Japanese PD revealed from PDOPPS
From: Historical overview and current practice of peritoneal dialysis in Japan
PD prescriptions  CAPD > APD  Lower dialysis dose: lower PD volume and Lower Kt/V  Relatively low-glucose solutions  Biocompatible solution; low GDPs solution  Relative higher Ca solution: Ca ≥ 3.5 mEq/L PD catheter  Surgical insertion Peritonitis  Low incident rate  Disparity between facilities  Higher % of culture-negative Outcomes  Lower mortality and transfer HD  Higher hybrid therapy  Disparity between facilities |  |
