Background and Aims Peritoneal dialysis (PD) widely practiced as the first-line modality for renal replacement therapy in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Urgent-start PD (use of the PD catheter within 14 days of insertion) is an effective approach to prompt initiation of PD after catheter insertion. However, there is a paucity of data regarding complications of urgent-start PD. We investigated the outcomes of urgent-start PD in our subset (Indian population). Method All patients in whom PD was initiated between 01 January 2015 and 31 July 2019 (54 months) were included. Patients were grouped according to the initiation of PD (break-in period) as &amp;lt;8 days (PD1), 8 to 14 days (PD2), and &amp;gt;14 days (PD3). Results In 100 patients included in the study, 57.5% were males. Among them, 75%, 10%, and 15% patients were in the PD1, PD2, PD3 break-in groups respectively. The most common cause of ESRD was diabetes mellitus. Functional catheter malfunction was the most frequent complication in PD1. The incidence of mechanical complications during the first six months was similar in all three groups (p = 0.06). No significant differences with respect to the catheter dysfunction requiring surgical intervention (p &amp;gt; 0.05) were observed. In PD1 group, catheter patency rate at the end of the 1-month and 1-year was 98.6% and 95.4% respectively. No significant differences were found in the rate of peritonitis among the three groups. Female sex, low haemoglobin, and low albumin levels were independent risk factors for peritonitis. Conclusion Early break-in period of less than seven days is a feasible option for patients requiring urgent dialysis with no increased risk of mechanical or infectious complications. It offers a safe and efficacious option for unplanned ESRD patients.
