Peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis is the main complication seen in this renal replacement therapy with morbidity and mortality from 2 to 6%. The epidemiology of peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis varies according to the continent, country and dialysis center. The rate of peritonitis per ...
Optimal preparation is recommended for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease to minimize complications during dialysis initiation. This study evaluated the effects of planned dialysis initiation on survival in patients undergoing incident hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Patients newly diagnosed with...
PERITONITIS REMAINS THE MAJOR CLINICAL COMPLICATION OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS: THE LONDON, UK, PERITONITIS AUDIT 2002–2003 Over the past two decades, the rate of peritonitis in patients treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been significantly reduced. However, peritonitis remains a major complication ...
Peritoneal–mediastinal communication is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). We report the first case of peritoneal–mediastinal communication complication in a 36‐year‐old Caucasian man on continuous cycler peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) after undergoing cardiac surgery. He developed end‐stage...

peritoneal dialysis systematic review The incidence of end-stage renal disease is increasing worldwide.1 Although the preferred therapeutic option is kidney transplantation, peritoneal dialysis (PD) still has an important role in the treatment of end-stage renal disease.2,3 The preservation of residual...
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) with devastating consequences. Although it can occur among patients on PD, it may present long after PD has been discontinued; thus, its diagnosis depends on a high index of suspicion. We present a rare...
