Nephrologists provided patients with ESRD requiring urgent dialysis with detailed information on possible treatment modalities. Individuals who preferred PD and were suitable for PD were eligible if they were aged 18–75 years. The study recruitment period was from March to December 2021 at the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University.Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) conditions requiring emergent hemodialysis, including uncontrolled severe acute heart failure (New York Heart Association, Grade IV), uremic encephalopathy, severe electrolyte disorders (serum potassium [s-K+] > 6.5 mmol/L), and unstable vital signs; (2) complications associated with other serious diseases, such as severe systemic infections or sepsis; and (3) refusal to participate in the study; and (4) participation in other clinical studies.All eligible patients were randomized into two groups according to a computer-generated randomization chart; the MPD and A-MPD groups. In addition, general information was recorded, including age, sex, causes of ESRD, body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA), surgical PDC implantation method, and laboratory measurements.
