Therefore, our doctors had a low threshold for screening for COVID-19 disease in CKD and ESKD patients admitted for fluid overload, respiratory, and non-respiratory symptoms 8 , in order to identify COVID-19 cases for immediate isolation to prevent infection within the hospital and its inpatient dialysis centre. For PD inpatients who are in isolation for suspected or confirmed COVID-19, we will preferentially do automated PD (APD) instead of continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) in order to reduce patient contact and infection risk to PD nurses, and halve the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).	./cache/cord-343797-kpmz5kwg.txt	./txt/cord-343797-kpmz5kwg.txt
