Cloudy dialysate—reconsidering initial empiric therapy

Peritoneal fluid eosinophilia can be caused by many factors. It has been noted in helminthic infection or allergic diseases and can occur especially at the initiation of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We show the case of a 53-year-old woman undergoing CAPD who was initially treated for bacterial peritonitis with antibiotics. Finally, she revealed an eosinophilic peritonitis m...

Cloudy peritoneal dialysate: in search of a clear cause?

Effect of creatinine assay standardization on the performance of Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD formula in predicting GFR.

CAPD patients given lercanidipine developed non-infective turbid peritoneal dialysis. Differential diagnosis of non-infectious cloudy peritoneal dialysate includes cellular causes (i.e. leucocyte, eosinophils, red cells and malign cells) and non-cellular causes (i.e. triglyceride and drugs) [2]. Yoshimoto et al. [1,3] reported that benidipine, manidipine, nisoldipine and nifedipine caused cloud...
