Abstract: The number of treated end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients worldwide has rapidly grown. To prolong their lives ESRD patients require transplantation or dialysis treatment. Limited donor availability has caused most of the ESRD patients to rely on either hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). Taiwan had the highest prevalence rate worldwide and sought to increase the PD utilization through a series of reimbursement incentives.
