In Saudi Arabia, only 9% of dialysis patients are on peritoneal dialysis (PD), and this has been the case for years. A number of centers around the world have sought to understand the underutilization of PD by asking nephrologists directly. In this study, we aimed to gather information that will answer the question "Why is PD underutilized in Saudi Arabia?" hoping that a roadmap may be developed to overcome the hurdles the study underscores, allowing for more patients to utilize this valuable modality.
