When the color of peritoneal dialysis effluent can be used as a diagnostic tool

Abstract: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent is normally transparent. A change in its appearance may be the first indication of an intra- or extraperitoneal abnormality which may or may not be related to the peritoneal dialysis technique itself. What diagnosis should be considered when PD effluent turns on red, orange, cloudy, milky white, green, yellow, purple or black in color? After review of the literature, we propose a differential diagnosis, as well as some management recommendations, for specific abnormal color pr… Show more

“…The macroscopic change of effluent can be the first clue. An increased number of neutrophils mostly causes cloudy effluent, and the first diagnosis to be considered is infective 7,9 peritonitis. The increased neutrophil suspicion can be seen by the increased PMN from the automated cell counter and confirmed by cytospin slide evaluation under a microscope.…”

“…Uma mudança na aparência indica uma complicação da técnica e requer um manejo rápido e preciso. Isso também pode revelar um problema não diretamente relacionado à técnica de diálise em si, mas a outra situação patológica que passaria despercebida em pacientes que não estão realizando trocas de diálise peritoneal [Dossin and Goffin 2019].…”

“…In a normal circumstance, the Effluent dialysate of PD patients is transparent or yellowish clear. The change in its appearance can be indicative of intra-or extraperitoneal abnormality [6]. Image processing can offer a solution by detecting and classifying the changes in the appearance of effluent dialysate.…”
