Peritoneal tuberculosis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic renal failure have an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). This occurs with much higher frequency within the first 12 months of initiating dialysis and is usually extrapulmonary in nature. Patients most at risk are those from susceptible ethnic groups, especially the Indian subcontinent. Peritoneal TB, otherwise relatively uncommon, has emerged as an important f...
متن کاملAnalysis of depression in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.
It is well known that depression and sense of hopelessness worsen the quality of life in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving dialysis. However, the characteristics of depression in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients have not been analyzed in detail. We performed this study to investigate the severity of depression and the factors affecting depression in CAPD...
متن کاملProperties of human peritoneal macrophages from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.
Patients undergoing CAPD are prone to episodes of peritonitis caused principally by infection with Staphylococcus epidermidis. Since macrophages are believed to be of prime importance in protection of the peritoneal cavity we have examined certain activities of CAPD peritoneal macrophages and compared them with normal peritoneal macrophages and blood monocytes. CAPD macrophages were obtained fr...
متن کاملPaediatric continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Ten children in end-stage renal failure were treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This represents a total of 3.4 patient years. Biochemical control was good, and parent and patient acceptability high. Peritonitis was the chief complication, but after the institution of a specific CAPD education and training programme the incidence declined 10-fold. We regard CAPD as an e...
متن کاملFactors influencing peritoneal catheter survival in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
The success of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is to a great extent determined by the survival of the peritoneal catheter. The aim of this study was to identify technical factors which influence CAPD catheter survival. A total of 453 CAPD catheters inserted into 310 patients over an 8-year period were analysed. Access to the peritoneum was gained either by an open surgical tech...
