ABSTRACT
In December 2019, cases of acute respiratory illness of unknown origin were reported in Wuhan, China. The disease is caused by "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2". After identifying severe lung damage, injury to other organs, such as the kidney, has been identified. Peritoneal dialysis is a renal replacement therapy (RRT) and is at least as effective as other extracorporeal therapy options, with significant cost-effective advantages. However, this strategy is rarely used for the management of acute kidney injury in severe lung disease. In this review, we explore PD as an RRT strategy that may be a key instrument in countries and hospitals with limited access to all RRTs.
