To study variations in the practice of peritoneal dialysis within Asia and between Asia and the West, relevant information was collected through questionnaires from nephrologists in several Asian countries and by a literature search. Data indicate that economy significantly affects dialysis treatment rates. Peritoneal dialysis was often underutilized. The effect of Kt/V on survival was less obvious compared to the West in countries where peritoneal dialysis patient survival rates were high. More cost-effective dialysis regimes should be developed to increase dialysis treatment rates.
