Similar Peritonitis Outcome in Capd and APD Patients with Dialysis Modality Continuation during Peritonitis

Abstract: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Background: As few data exist on treatment of peritonitis in patients on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), and as pharmacokinetics of several antibiotics are reported to be unfavorable in APD, some favor switching to continuous ambulant PD (CAPD) while treating APD-related peritonitis. We explored whether treating peritonitis with patients continuing their usual PD modality had an effect on outcome.

“…Information about immunosuppressive treatment in this group of patients would be interesting, but it was not available in the database. In the present cohort, PD modality was not a predictor of any outcomes, which is in agreement with previous reports (1,22). However, transference to CAPD is a common practice in our country due to concerns of adequate antibiotic dosing during APD and the subgroup of APD patients who were transiently transferred to CAPD for peritonitis treatment presented a higher non-resolution rate.…”

“…There was no statistical difference found in regard to hospitalization, and all other outcomes, including catheter removal and temporary or permanent transfer to hemodialysis, were comparable between the two modalities. These results can be compared with a single-center study performed by Rüger et al, which found no difference between CAPD and APD patients during treatment of 508 episodes of PD-related peritonitis in 205 patients with respect to the outcomes of relapse, mortality, or the combined end point of mortality plus catheter removal (28). There are a number of possible explanations for our findings.…”

“…ISPD guidelines from 2012 [10] reported the use of first-generation cephalosporin, or glycopeptides is recommended according to region and patient characteristics. International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry recently reported the outcomes of 548 episodes of PD peritonitis in 392 pediatric patients from 44 pediatric dialysis centers [41, 42]. The study showed widespread variations in terms of practice, microbiology, and outcomes for peritonitis across the world.…”
