Resumo

Peritonitis is one of the major risks of peritoneal dialysis (PD) causing significant morbidity and in some instances, mortality. It is one of the principal causes of transfer to hemodialysis (HD).  Peritonitis rates should be audited by units.  The recommended rate by the ISPD is less than 0.5 episodes/year
