چکیده

A prospective study was performed to evaluate four culture methods for the diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Peritonitis was present in 44 of 85 patient admissions (52%). The overall sensitivity of the culture methods in detecting peritonitis was 66%. The sensitivities of the individual methods were as follows: bag culture method, 61%; blood culture broth method, 51%; filter method, 54%; and plate method, 39%. Our broad definition of peritonitis resulted in lower sensitivities. A combination of the bag and blood culture broth methods detected all positive cultures.

Microbiological diagnosis of peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

The fast and accurate etiological diagnosis of peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is essential. The concentration of larger volumes of peritoneal fluids may yield more isolates than conventional methods. The removal of antibiotics present in the fluids as a consequence of therapy by washing or using antibiotic-removing resins increases the yield considerably. T...

Microbiological aspects of peritonitis associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

The process of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis has provided a useful, relatively inexpensive, and safe alternative for patients with end-stage renal disease. Infectious peritonitis, however, has limited a more widespread acceptance of this technique. The definition of peritonitis in this patient population is not universally accepted and does not always include the laboratory support ...

Correlation between Ultrafiltration Coefficient and Effective Lymphatic Absorption Rate in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Possible Paradigm Shift

Background: The relative contribution of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a critical issue, particularly in patients with ultrafiltration failure (UFF). Based on routine results obtained from the PD Adequest 2.0 software, the present study aimed to re-evaluate the separate effects of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption ...

"Agrobacterium yellow group" and Pseudomonas paucimobilis causing peritonitis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Five cases of peritonitis occurred during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in which unusual yellow pigmented Gram negative bacteria were isolated in pure culture. Four of these isolates were identified as the so called "Agrobacterium yellow group." The remaining isolate was identified as Pseudomonas paucimobilis, an organism closely related to the Agrobacterium yellow group.

Background: Peritoneal dialysis is one of the most commonly used treatment methods for the patients with end stage renal failure. In recent years, the mortality rate of patients under this treatment has decreased; however, long-term survival is still an important challenge for health systems. The present study aimed to predict the survival of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. ...
