For the past 15 years, the appropriate treatment of end stage renal failure has included both continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and haemodialysis. In some circumstances CAPD has been indicated as a more adequate option. However, the main handicap for CAPD patients is peritoneal infection [1], ranking as the main cause of hospital admission and transfer to haemodialysis [2]. Peritonitis represents the third highest cause of death in CAPD patients [3]. It also produces a 15–19% deterioration of peritoneal membrane function.
