Anuric patients are often excluded from peritoneal dialysis (PD) because of the fear that PD is inadequate to treat this higher-risk group of patients. However, advances in PD knowledge and technique allow better and adjusted treatments. There is now clinical evidence that anuric patients can be successfully treated with PD, while new solutions promise to mitigate some limitations of automated PD, such as sodium and fluid removal and preservation of membrane function.

KEY WORDS: Anuric patient.
