Abstract:

To investigate the status of peritoneal dialysis patients treated with in Tibet area.
Ｍｅｔｈｏｄｏｌｏｇｙ：The clinical and laboratory data of the patients who performed peritoneal dialysis were retrospectively analyzed in our department between May, 2011 and June, 2016. Single variable Cox regression was used to analyze the risk factors associated with peritonitis and death.
Ｒｅｓｕｌｔｓ：During the study period, 56 patients performed peritoneal dialysis in our department. The primary etiology of end stage renal disease was glomerulonephritis 43 (768%), followed by diabetic nephropathy 4 (71%). The incidence of peritonitis was 1/358 patientmonth, which was the primary cause of technique failure. The patient survival at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year was 958%、835% and 799%, respectively. The major etiologies of death were pulmonary infection and cardiac insufficiency. Higher Creactive protein level was significantly associated with death（HR：103, 95%CI:101-105, P=0004）.
Ｃｏｎｃｌｕｓｉｏｎ：
The primary etiology of end stage renal disease in Tibet area was glomerulonephritis. The incidence of peritonitis was higher than those reported by experienced centers. The major etiologies of death were pulmonary infection and cardiac insufficiency. Higher Creactive protein level was significantly associated with death. Large sample study with longer followup is of interest.
