Summary

Home dialysis is encouraged in Canada and peritoneal dialysis is the most common home dialysis method. However, many patients discontinue peritoneal dialysis, often transferring to hemodialysis. Despite the frequency of this transition, little is known about its impact on patients. Overall, the UPLIFT-PD program aims to fill this gap by studying the transition from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis. The specific goal of this mixed methods sub-study is to conduct a national survey to ask patients and caregivers about priorities and preferences when they anticipate a transfer from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis. This survey will be co-created by patient-partners and dialysis experts. Results from this survey will then be used in other phases of UPLIFT-PD program, detailed in other registrations, which will support people facing a transition from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis..
