Sumario: | BACKGROUND: This study presents our data on mortality in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) who developed COVID-19. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sri Padmavathi Medical College Hospital, Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences University, was designated the State COVID Hospital in March 2020. In a retrospective observational study, we collected the data of ESRD patients on PD and identified the risk factors for mortality. RESULTS: Prior to the pandemic, 136 patients with ESRD were on peritoneal dialysis at our Institute. Among them, 27 (19.8%) eventually developed COVID-19, and 14 of them (51.8%) died. Serum albumin levels were lower and D-dimer levels were significantly higher in deceased patients than in survivors. DISCUSSION: The mortality rate in ESRD patients on PD with COVID-19 at our institution was higher than in other published studies.
