Nutrition is a key management issue in individuals receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) and those who develop complications during PD. However, globally, there is no unified practice consensus to guide nephrologists, dietitians and other allied health professionals in managing various nutrition issues for individuals receiving PD. The International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM) and International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) joined forces to develop an inaugural practice recommendation on nutrition management in individuals receiving PD.
