Abstract
Maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most used kidney replacement therapy for children with kidney failure throughout the world. Underlying causes of kidney failure, indications for dialysis, body size, and nutritional requirements differ between children and adults on PD. These differences, along with the ongoing growth and development that occurs throughout childhood, impact PD access, prescription, and monitoring in children. This review highlights the unique challenges and management approaches to optimize the care of children on maintenance PD.
