Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections include PD peritonitis, an important cause of morbidity, mortality, and failure of PD technique leading to a switch to hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. Others include catheter exit-site infection (ESI) and tunnel infection (TI). ...

Background: For the treatment of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDP), it has been suggested that serum concentrations of vancomycin be kept above 12 mg/L - 15 mg/L. However, studies correlating vancomycin concentrations in serum and peritoneal dialysate effluent (PDE) during active inf...
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter–associated infections remain a challenging cause of technique failure. Patient training and preventive measures are key elements in the management of infection rates. Twenty-seven of the 167 PD catheter transfer sets analyzed (19%) yielded a positive microbial culture...
Inflammation of the peritoneum (peritonitis) are as frequent as they are feared complications in peritoneal dialysis, a form of kidney replacement therapy for independent use at home. The bacteria responsible for the life-threatening infections are becom
It is advisable to make an individual plan of nutrition for elderly patients on peritoneal dialysis in order to provide adequate intake of proteins, energy, vitamins and minerals. Survival rates are the same in patients on peritoneal dialysis and on hemodialysis, but the number of co-morbid ...
The purpose of this study was to analyze catheter outcome of persistent exit-site/tunnel infections (ESI/TIs) in peritoneal dialysis patients who underwent removal of the subcutaneous cuff due to persistent ESI/TI from January 1989 to June 1994. One hundred and sixty-eight patients (98 male, ...

To obtain data on peritonitis and exit-site and/or tunnel infections (ESI/TI) in Japanese children undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) from January 1999 through June 2003, we surveyed 22 members of the Japanese Study Group of Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis (JSPPD) by questionnaire. One hundred an...
Peritoneal dialysis (PD), and in particular continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD), is associated with a high risk of infection of the peritoneum, subcutaneous tunnel and catheter exit site[1]. Exit site infection (ESI) and tunnel infection (TI) per se pose little risks but the possibility of ...
