Peritoneal tuberculosis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

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...

Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia Infection in Patients Receiving Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a gram-negative bacillus that has become increasingly recognized as an important nosocomial pathogen, particularly in individuals with severe debilitation or immunosuppression. S. maltophilia is also characterized by its resistance to multiple antibiotics. S maltophilia peritonitis in CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) patients is associa...

Glucose absorption in nephropathy patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

OBJECTIVES Peritoneal dialysis patients are at risk of glucose absorption from peritoneal dialysate, not only because of energy imbalance but also the toxic effects of high glucose. The current widely applied formulae may be not suitable for estimation of glucose absorption in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. This study examined the actual glucose absorption in a cohor...
