  • Title: Advances in renal replacement therapy as a bridge to renal transplantation.
    Author: Goldstein SL.
    Journal: Pediatr Transplant; 2007 Aug; 11(5):463-70. PubMed ID: 17631012.
    Abstract:
    While renal transplantation remains the most prevalent treatment for children with end-stage renal disease, the majority of children incident to ESRD receive dialytic therapy prior to receiving a renal allograft and 25% of children are still receiving dialytic therapy 36 months after achieving ESRD. The current review discusses the most recent advancements in both hemodialysis and PD therapies to provide optimal care for children as a bridge until renal transplantation. Areas covered include dialysis dose assessment, target dry weight assessment, vascular access and advancements in PD technology.
