We confirm a high prevalence of fluid overload in PD patients and show that it is strongly associated with older age, diabetes, hypoalbuminemia and protein energy wasting. In contrast, when PD prescription is tailored to patient's individual characteristics, residual renal function, PD modality and peritoneal characteristics are not decisive in controlling volume status.
