Patients will be randomized to either the control Group (PICC-line catheter) or the intervention Group (Midline catheter) using an online Tool (Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap), Aarhus University, Denmark).

The statistical analyses of the outcomes will be performed by a statistician being blinded.

Patients with absolute contraindication to the PD method - presence of recent abdominal surgery (less than 30 days); multiple previous abdominal surgery (more than two); presence of fibrosis or peritoneal adhesions; fungal peritonitis; severe respiratory insufficiency (FiO2> 70%); abdominal infections; severe hyperkalemia with changes characteristic in EKG; and acute pulmonary edema - will be treated with HD.

Patients stage 5 (creatinine clearance < 15 ml/min) requiring dialysis treatment immediately without absolute contraindication to the PD method will receive unplanned PD treatment. High volume PD (HVPD) will be used during the first 7 days of PD in order to achieve metabolic and fluid control. The procedure for acute PD has been published recently by our team . At this point, patients will be discharged from hospital and they will be treated by intermitent PD at the dialysis unit of the University Hospital.until their family be trained and home be prepared for the implementation of technique.

Disorders Associated With Peritoneal Dialysis

Patients with absolute contraindication to the PD method will be treated with HD. HD will be performed after implantation of central venous catheter using Seldinger technique by nephrology team.
