2. Clinical diagnosis of CRF with specific indications for PD.

Exclusion Criteria

1.Decreased peritoneal clearance rate caused by various abdominal lesions;
2.Within 3 days of abdominal surgery and no complete healing of the wound, which could easily lead to dialysate leaks;
3.Localized inflammatory lesions in the peritoneum, which could be spread by PD;
4.Late pregnancy or large intra-abdominal tumors, which could result in reduced abdominal volume and subsequent unsatisfactory effect of PD;
5.Extensive abdominal wall infection or severe burns, which could cause failure of intubation;
6.Intra-abdominal vascular diseases, such as polyangiitis, severe arteriosclerosis, scleroderma, which could reduce the dialysis efficacy;
7.Severe respiratory insufficiency; in such patients, excessive fluid intake would aggravate respiratory insufficiency, and if the patients were still required to receive PD, fluid intake was less;
8.Long-term insufficiency of protein and caloric intake; such patients were not suitable for PD because PD could lead to daily loss of protein more than 6 g
