Forum Nefrologiczne 2018;11(1):39-42.
Abstract
We report a case of 45-years-old patient, who started dialysis at 16 years of age and has experienced all types of renal replacement therapies. In April 2007 he has started peritoneal dialysis because of exhaustion of vascular access. Since April 2010 assisted peritoneal dialysis has been performed. Assisted peritoneal dialysis is effective and well-tolerated modality and improves general condition and quality of life.
