    Resumen: La fibrilaci贸n auricular (FA) es la arritmia cr贸nica m谩s frecuente en pacientes con enfermedad renal cr贸nica (ERC). La anticoagulaci贸n oral con antagonistas de la vitamina K (AVK) y actualmente los anticoagulantes orales de acci贸n directa (ACOD) han sido el pilar fundamental para la prevenci贸n de eventos tromboemb贸licos. Sin embargo, no existen ensayos cl铆nicos aleatorizados de su perfil riesgo-beneficio en pacientes con ERC estadio 5 en di谩lisis peritoneal (DP) y son pocas las evidencias en la literatura sobre esta poblaci贸n. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer la prevalencia, tratamiento y profesionales implicados en el manejo de la FA en DP en nuestro entorno mediante el an谩lisis descriptivo de una encuesta enviada a diferentes unidades de DP de Espa帽a. Se incluyeron en el estudio 1.403 pacientes en programa de DP, de los cuales 186 (13,2%) presentaban FA no valvular (FANV). Adem谩s, observamos que la valoraci贸n de los scores para el inicio del tratamiento anticoagulante la realizaba mayoritariamente el cardi贸logo (60% de los centros), as铆 como la prescripci贸n de anticoagulaci贸n (cardi贸logo 47% o en conjunto con el nefr贸logo 43%).En conclusi贸n, los pacientes en DP presentan una notable prevalencia de FANV. Reciben frecuentemente anticoagulaci贸n oral (ACO) con AVK, as铆 como con ACOD. Los datos obtenidos respecto a las escalas utilizadas para la valoraci贸n de riesgo tromboemb贸lico y de sangrado, tratamiento e implicaci贸n por parte de Nefrolog铆a indican que existe una necesidad de formaci贸n e involucramiento del nefr贸logo en esta patolog铆a. Abstract: Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent chronic arrhythmia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists and now direct oral anticoagulants have been and are the fundamental pillar for the prevention of thromboembolic events. However, there are no randomized clinical trials on the risk-benefit profile of oral anticoagulation in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 on peritoneal dialysis and there is little evidence in the literature in this population.The objective of our study was to know the prevalence, treatment and professionals involved in the management of atrial fibrillation in peritoneal dialysis patients. For this purpose, we performed a descriptive analysis through a survey sent to different peritoneal dialysis units in Spain. A total of 1403 patients on peritoneal dialysis were included in the study, of whom 186 (13.2%) had non-valvular atrial fibrillation. In addition, the assessment of the scores of thromboembolic and bleeding risks for the indication of oral anticoagulation was mainly carried out by the cardiologist (60% of the units), as well as its prescription (cardiologist 47% in consensus with the nephrologist 43%).In summary, patients on peritoneal dialysis have a remarkable prevalence of non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Patients frequently receive oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists, as well as direct oral anticoagulants. The data obtained regarding the scales used for the assessment of thromboembolic and bleeding risk, treatment and involvement by Nephrology indicates that there is a need for training and involvement of the nephrologist in this pathology
