@lobbedez_t Les registres, tels que le @RDPLF et SNDS-REIN, peuvent aider les professionnels de la DP à prendre des décisions cliniques et à améliorer les résultats cliniques pour les patients, mais aussi à plaider en faveur de programmes de DP plus robustes et plus équitables. @lobbedez_t

#ISPD26 Debate: local production of fluid is the answer to PD growth in low-resource settings
Duel of titans: @qayyumahad (PRO) vs @vjha126 (CON)
Key Message: fluid cost is the biggest barrier to PD in LMIC because of imports. However, local production is not always THE answer.

[ISPD 2026 Cape Town Congress @ISPDCongress]

The talk about #PD in AKI was given by Prof Brett Cullis
Key Message: similar outcomes to CRRT at a significantly lower cost; it is suited to low-resource settings and should be included as an option for AKI in ICU care in the new KDIGO guidelines

[ISPD 2026 Cape Town Congress @ISPDCongress]

#ISPD26 Session: Hot topics in PD.
Laura Gillis presented the latest advances in PD in diabetes. Key message: mean glucose levels do not show what’s happening at each moment. One should treat the patients' metabolic phenotype - not simply HbA1C.

[ISPD 2026 Cape Town Congress @ISPDCongress]

#PeritonealDialysis management of patients with cardiovascular disease - presented by Dr. Roberto Pecoits Filho.
Key Message: the PD prescription also shapes cardiometabolic exposure. Attention must also be given to persistent hypokalemia, volume control, and individualized HgA1C

The ISPD Early Career Committee invites #ISPD26 delegates to their first QUIZ, in the Auditorium 1 Alcove, today at 18h00. Join them for a session focused on learning, competing, and interacting with peers. And who knows, you may leave with some limited-edition ISPD-ECC money!

In the morning plenary, Prof Simon Davies presented the #ISPD26 Krediet Lecture on "What will PD look like in 2036?". A very insightful talk with lots of food for thoughts, hope for the future but also challenges to face together as ISPD members and within the IHDC.
