Children with KDIGO stage 3 acute kidney injury (AKI) face a high risk of mortality without immediate dialysis access. While nearly 60% of the world's children live in low- and middle-income countries. These are the exact settings that most urgently need peritoneal dialysis (PD), which is crucial for AKI management. In Egypt, the frequent unavailability of standard Tenckhoff-PD catheters restricts their consistent use, often resulting in delayed or limited treatment for patients. In such situations, the off-label use of non-tunneled hemodialysis catheters inserted into the peritoneal cavity under ultrasound guidance to perform PD was an alternative way.
