Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Prevalence and incidence of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in Asia are both increasing, but the increase is not homogenous. In some countries and regions, PD is not used as one of the standard therapeutic modalities, because of either insufficient medico-economic infrastructure or a lack of clinical experience and knowledge-or sometime both. In the present article, we would like to introduce a little "Asian heat" with regard to PD utilization and academic and scientific contributions to the PD community in the world. |
