Comparison of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related infections with different "Y-tubing" exchange systems.

Despite several modifications of the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) technique over the last decade, peritonitis remains a major source of morbidity and is the leading cause of dropout for patients maintained on CAPD therapy. Recently, Baxter Healthcare introduced the Ultra Twin bag system, which uses drainage and infusion bags both secured to Y connecting tubing. Previous nonr...

Fungal peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients: effect of fluconazole treatment and use of the twin-bag disconnect system.

Fungal peritonitis is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication for patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of fluconazole in fungal peritonitis treatment and the incidence of fungal peritonitis in different peritoneal dialysis disconnect systems. Fungal peritonitis was caused by Candida species in 67% of epi...

Prevention and management of peritonitis and exit-site infection in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Peritonitis, catheter exitsite, and tunnel infections are serious problems in PD patients. Peritonitis accounts for 15–35% of hospital admissions, is the major cause (40– 45%) of transfer to haemodialysis (technique failure), and finally is associated with mortalit...
