Abstract

Acute kidney injury is a syndrome characterised by the rapid loss of the kidney's excretory function and is typically diagnosed by the accumulation of end products of nitrogen metabolism (urea and creatinine) or decreased urine output, or both. Dialysis modalities used in AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) are HD (Hemodialysis), CRRT (Continuous renal replacement therapy) acute PD and CAPD either manually or with automated machine in advanced centers. Peritoneal dialysis, initially used as first modality of renal replacement therapy in AKI patients before HD is widely available. Usage of PD in developing countries is advantageous due to its lower cost and minimal infrastructural requirements. This is a Retrospective cross sectional study indicating an importance of High Volume Peritoneal Dialysis (HVPD) in ICU patients who had AKI according to AKIN/KDIGO definition, with good outcome, which can be used as a modality of RRT in resource poor countries.

Keywords: HVPD, AKI, AKIN.
