Tóm tắt

Back ground: Peritonitis among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is a major impediment for patient and physician acceptance of peritoneal dialysis as an alternate to hemodialysis. We look at our peritonitis rates among Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) patients.

Methods: All patients undergoing APD were included in the analysis since January 2025 till now and had undergone at least a month of PD. Peritonitis rate was calculated and all factors were closely evaluated.

Results: Among 82 APD patients the majority were males. A peritonitis rate was calculated to be 0.62 episodes per patient years. Single mortality among 22 patients who died, was directly attributed to severe sepsis after an episode of peritonitis.

Conclusion: The peritonitis rates are better as the experience with the PD is improving. Attention to simple infection prevention protocols and retraining of the patients will further improve the targets to international standards.
