20244 citationsOpen accessMenoufia University

Abstract

This study highlights the inadequate knowledge about PD among HD patients and identifies factors contributing to the underutilization of PD. Lack of information, misconceptions about the effectiveness and safety of PD, and preference for HD were significant barriers. Enhancing patient education and addressing misconceptions are crucial in promoting PD as a viable treatment option for ESKD, thereby improving patients' quality of life.
