10,000-Patient registry aims to map the Real-World course of peritoneal dialysis
NCT ID NCT02989298
First seen Sep 15, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University are building a registry of peritoneal dialysis patients across hospitals in China. The study plans to enroll about 10,000 people and follow them every three months. The team will collect baseline and follow-up information to compare patient survival, how long dialysis technique lasts, peritonitis rates, changes in residual kidney and peritoneal function, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the registry succeeds, it could give doctors a clearer picture of how peritoneal dialysis patients fare over time and which factors matter most for survival and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, so it cannot prove that any treatment works. Results depend on how completely and consistently hospitals report data, and findings from Chinese hospitals may not apply elsewhere.
