ADPKD patients were more likely to receive a kidney transplant, use home HD, dialyze with an AVF, and have better survival relative to non-ADPKD patients. Conversely, they were less likely to receive PD either as initial therapy or anytime during ESKD. This may be attributed to higher transplantation or clinical decision-making processes susceptible to education and intervention.
