Laboratory indices of clinical peritonitis: total leukocyte count, microscopy, and microbiologic culture of peritoneal dialysis effluent.
Total leukocyte count, microscopy, and conventional bacteriologic culture (10-ml sediment) of dialysis effluent were assessed for their ability to detect peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis. A total of 73 patients were surveyed over a 17-month period. Laboratory findings included an examination of 1,774 dialysate samples and culture results from blood, wounds, indwelling catheters, a...
متن کاملPrognostic value of dialysis effluent leukocyte count in children on peritoneal dialysis with peritonitis.
INTRODUCTION Early prediction of the efficacy of treatment in peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the best way to reduce morbidity. We studied the prognostic value of the third-day dialysis effluent leukocyte count after antibiotic therapy for prediction of treatment outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of 31 children on PD, younger than 15 years old, admitted in A...

متن کاملThe utility of prolonged culture of peritoneal dialysis effluent in the diagnosis and management of peritonitis.
In this prospective study we examined the effect of prolonging cultures of peritoneal dialysis fluid to 21 days. The extended culture period did not lead to any new or clinically important findings, although late culture findings were obtained in a small number of cases. Prolonged culture of the effluent does not appear to be necessary, although it can lead to extended duration of antibiotic th...
