SummaryBackgroundHeart failure (HF) often accompanies chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the elderly. This clinical condition is a critical socio-medical issue, because high-dose diuretic therapy stimulates the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone axis and sympathetic nervous system outflow, and may thus result in vicious cycles of cardio-renal deterioration, leading to excess hospitalization and death. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a renal replacement therapy used for maintenance dialysis, and is characterized by the continuous removal of fluid. The present study examined the clinical feasibility and effects of a novel style of PD for elderly CKD patients with refractory HF.MethodsTwelve elderly CKD patients (stages 3–5) with refractory HF [New York H...
