Abstract
The increasing prevalence of diabetes has led to a growing population of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients with diabetes. Currently, kidney transplantation is the best treatment option for ESKD patients; however, it is limited by the lack of donors. Therefore, dialysis has become the standard treatment for ESKD patients. However, the optimal dialysis method for diabetic ESKD patients remains controversial. ESKD patients with diabetes often present with complex conditions and numerous complications. Furthermore, these patients face a high risk of infection and technical failure, are more susceptible to malnutrition, have difficulty establishing vascular access, and experience more frequent blood sugar fluctuations than the general population. Therefore, this article reviews nine critical aspects: Survival rate, glucose metabolism disorder, infectious complications, cardiovascular events, residual renal function, quality of life, economic benefits, malnutrition, and volume load. This study aims to assist clinicians in selecting individualized treatment methods by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, thereby improving patients’ quality of life and survival rates.
Core Tip: The prevalence of diabetes is leading to an increase in the number of End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients with diabetes. Dialysis is the most commonly accepted treatment for ESKD patients. However, the optimal dialysis method for diabetic ESKD patients remains controversial. Diabetic ESKD patients often present with complex conditions and numerous complications. This article reviews recent literature on renal replacement therapy to determine the most suitable dialysis method for diabetic ESKD patients. This review is the first to evaluate the benefits of different dialysis types for diabetic ESKD patients across nine aspects.
