Peritoneal dialysis - associated peritonitis during treatment with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Abstract
Infections associated with peritoneal dialysis (infection of the catheter, tunnel infection and peritonitis) are the most common complications of this method. Despite significant progress in the methodological approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of PD associated infections, peritonitis remains the main risk factor for mortality in PD patients (up to 6%) and plays a significant role in more than 1/6 of the deaths associated with non-infectious complications such as cardiovascular and / or cerebrovascular disease. Besides, PD-associated infections are the most common cause of loss of peritoneal function and the patients’ transition to hemodialysis treatment. About 5% of PD patients are converted to hemodialysis treatment in the first year after postponed peritonitis.
