Early Onset Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peritonitis is a serious and common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), representing the commonest cause of technique failure and a not infrequent cause of patient death. Early onset peritonitis, variously defined in the literature as peritonitis occurring within the first 3-20 months of PD, is increasingly being recognised as a discrete and important clinical problem with appreciably heightened risks of technique failure and death. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive up to date summary of current evidence surrounding early onset peritonitis and to discuss how to better manage the condition, including suggestions for future research directions.

Comparison of percutaneous versus open surgical techniques for placement of peritoneal dialysis catheter in children: A randomized clinical trial
Background: This research compares the outcomes of percutaneous technique and open surgical peritoneal dialysis catheter placement in children. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, between 2010 and 2011,a total of 35 pediatric uremic patients were enrolled and randomized into two study groups. Follow up data included duration of operation (minute), duration of hospitalization (days...
متن کاملImpact of early-onset peritonitis on mortality and technique survival in peritoneal dialysis patients
BACKGROUND Early onset peritonitis (EOP) is not uncommon in peritoneal dialysis patients. We aimed to compare the prognosis of EOP and non-EOP peritoneal dialysis patients. METHODS This study included subjects that underwent PD from January 1, 2004 to July 31, 2013. Patient characteristics were collected. EOP was defined as peritonitis occurring within 6 months after initiation of PD. Patient...
متن کاملPeritonitis during the first year after commencement of peritoneal dialysis has an impact on technique survival and patient morbidity.
The timing of the first episode of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) might have some special characteristics and may depend on many factors such as a patient's attitudes, age, comorbidity, or training capacity. It may also have a significant impact on further peritonitis episodes and technique failure. We retrospectively analyzed data for 168 PD patients who were undergoing continuous amb...
متن کاملThe impact of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis on mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients
BACKGROUND Results concerning the association between peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis and mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients are inconclusive, with one potential reason being that the time-dependent effect of peritonitis has rarely been considered in previous studies. This study aimed to evaluate whether peritonitis has a negative impact on mortality in a large cohort of peritone...
متن کاملDisease severity score could not predict the outcomes in peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis.
BACKGROUND We aim to explore if disease severity score (DSS) at onset is associated with dialysate white cell counts, the severity of causative organisms and the risk for treatment failure of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis in an adult PD cohort. METHODS Our prospective cohort study recorded all peritonitis episodes between 2008 and 2010. The DSS, demographic data and clinical...
