Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death in chronic kidney disease patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). To explore the rationality of plant-based diet based on the dietary pattern for prevention and treatment of CVD, we analyze the possible adverse effects of plant-based diet on PD patients. More attention should be paid to the application of plant-based diet, and intervention studies should be conducted to unveil the risks and benefits of plant-based diet in PD patients.

Key words: Peritoneal dialysis, Plant-based diet, Chronic kidney disease, Cardiovascular disease
