摘要
Diabetes is one of the most catastrophic diseases ruling every corner of the world,and this has led to elevated incidents of end-stage kidney disease(ESKD).The standard treatment for ESKD is kidney transplantation/replacement,which is limited due to a deficiency of donors.Hence,dialysis has become the second-best option for treating patients with ESKD.Patients with ESKD with underlying diabetes have an additional risk of complications and infections over non-diabetic ESKD patients.Furthermore,these patients also experience variations in blood glucose levels and are more liable to develop malnutrition.This article elaborates on the different dialysis methods for ESKD patients.This editorial highlights the evidence-based studies that include randomized clinical trials,cohort studies,retrospective studies and case-control studies and suggests the most suitable type of dialysis under the following components.
