The only study comparing PD and extended hemodialysis was carried by Ponce et al.[2] The authors randomized 143 cases of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients requiring dialysis to high volume peritoneal dialsysis or extended hemodialysis and found no significant difference in the mortality rate, renal recovery, need of chronic dialysis, and median ICU. The results of the present study are similar to that reported by Ponce et al. To conclude, in the management of dialysis‐requiring AKI in critically ill patients, IPD is comparable to SLED in terms of correction of metabolic and clinical derangements.
