“…The common pathogens of PD-related peritonitis include Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella (9). Non-infective complications included increased intraabdominal pressure that resulted in hernias, dialysate leakage, catheter obstruction, catheter malposition, and back pain (10), as well as metabolic change that resulted in bloody dialysate and chyloperitoneum (11).…”

“…A bdominal hernias are relatively common non-infectious complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with reported prevalence rates ranging from 7% to 27.5% (1-5), and an incidence of 0.05 to 0.08 hernias per dialysis year (2,5,6). The risk factors for hernia formation include multiparous females, elderly males, polycystic kidney disease (PCKD), low body weight, previous hernia repair, history of more than three laparotomies, and midline incision for PD catheter placement (2,5,7,8).…”

“…Hypokalemia-Hypokalemia was observed in 15 out of 71 patients in our study11 patients had mild hypokalemia and 4 patients had moderate hypokalemia. Hypokalemia was not a major non infectious complications in our reference studies except in a study on Sudanese patients where hypokalemia was observed in 104 out of 296 patients studiedand it was the commonest non-infectious complication noticed [6]. It was reported that 10-15% of PD patients require potassium supplementation for hypokalemia [7].…”
