Early Onset Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis

Abstract: Peritonitis is a serious and common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), representing the commonest cause of technique failure and a not infrequent cause of patient death. Early onset peritonitis, variously defined in the literature as peritonitis occurring within the first 3-20 months of PD, is increasingly being recognised as a discrete and important clinical problem with appreciably heightened risks of technique failure and death. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive up to date summary … Show more

“…Although the investigators were unable to draw conclusions about the relationship between flushing practices and catheter outcomes, varying clinical practice patterns in PD may be responsible for some of these (e.g., age, comorbidity, requirement of assisted PD likely to be reflective of increase in frailty) were only associated with the risk of death. One of the other main risk factors for early technique failure was early peritonitis, which is not an unexpected finding as peritonitis is the main cause of technique failure in PD patients (21,23).…”

“…These subtle discrepancies in association with death and transfer to hemodialysis are intriguing, as transfer to hemodialysis appears to be associated with factors that relate more with center experience or practice patterns (e.g., center size), whereas patient-level characteristics (e.g., age, comorbidity, requirement of assisted PD likely to be reflective of increase in frailty) were only associated with the risk of death. One of the other main risk factors for early technique failure was early peritonitis, which is not an unexpected finding as peritonitis is the main cause of technique failure in PD patients (21,23).…”

“…Previous studies have reported that the factors associated with early peritonitis were old age, male, diabetes, obesity and hypoalbuminemia. 24,31 33 Our patients had low Salb at the time of starting PD. We suggest that malnutrition should be corrected before initiation of PD.…”
