[Peritoneal dialysis in people more than 75 years old].
Over 75 years old peritoneal dialysis patients can be treated with at least as good results as those of hemodialysis. Peritoneal dialysis is the only method used to treat old patients at home with psychological profits. Regarding the lack of references on nutritional state of uremic old patients and on early death forecast factors geriatric peritoneal dialysis knowledges are not yet well established.
