INTRODUCTION: Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis (PDRP) is a common cause of transfer to hemodialysis, patient morbidity, and is a risk factor for mortality. Associated patient anxiety can deter selection of PD for renal replacement therapy. Diagnosis relies on hospital laboratory tests; however, this might be achieved earlier if such information was available at the point-of-care (POC), thereby significantly improving outcomes. The presence of culturable microbes and the concentration of leukocytes in effluent both aid peritonitis diagnosis, as specified in the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) diagnostic guidelines...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients who undergo gastroendoscopy and colonoscopy are at increased risk of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PD peritonitis) following the procedure (defined as occurring within 7 days of intervention). As per current International Society for PD (ISPD) guidelines, antibiotic prophylaxis is currently recommended pre-colonoscopy in PD patients given the risk of post-colonoscopy PD peritonitis. The risk of PD peritonitis in patients undergoing capsule endoscopy (CE) is unknown...

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections, such as peritonitis, exit site, and tunnel infections, substantially impair the sustainability of PD. Accordingly, PD-related infection is the top-priority research outcome for patients and caregivers. While PD nurse trainers teach patients to perform their own PD, PD training curricula are not standardized or informed by an evidentiary base and may offer a potential approach to prevent PD infections. The Targeted Education ApproaCH to improve Peritoneal Dialysis outcomes (TEACH-PD) trial evaluates whether a standardized training curriculum for PD nurse trainers and incident PD patients based on the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guidelines reduces PD-related infections compared to usual training practices...

BACKGROUND: This multi-institutional, observational study examined whether the outcomes after peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement in Japan meet the audit criteria of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guideline and identified factors affecting technique survival and perioperative complications. METHODS: Adult patients who underwent first PD catheter placement for end-stage kidney disease between April 2019 and March 2021 were followed until PD withdrawal, kidney transplantation, transfer to other facilities, death, 1 year after PD start or March 2022, whichever came first...

BACKGROUND: This systematic review summarises the stability of less commonly prescribed antibiotics in different peritoneal dialysis solutions that could be used for culture-directed therapy of peritonitis, which would be especially useful in regions with a high prevalence of multidrug antibiotic-resistant strains. METHODS: A literature search of Medline, Scopus, Embase and Google Scholar for articles published from inception to 25 January, 2023 was conducted. Only antibiotic stability studies conducted in vitro and not recently reviewed by So et al...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter-related infections are important risk factors for catheter loss and peritonitis. The 2023 updated recommendations have revised and clarified definitions and classifications of exit site infection and tunnel infection. A new target for the overall exit site infection rate should be no more than 0.40 episodes per year at risk. The recommendation about topical antibiotic cream or ointment to catheter exit site has been downgraded. New recommendations include clarified suggestion of exit site dressing cover and updated antibiotic treatment duration with emphasis on early clinical monitoring to ascertain duration of therapy...

Fungal peritonitis (FP) is usually associated with poor patient outcomes and is mostly caused by non- albicans Candida species. We present a Candida nivariensis -associated peritonitis in a 68-year-old woman with end-stage kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Biochemical profiling of the cultured yeast of the effluent sample did not adequately identify the yeast. Hence, molecular phylogeny and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectroscopy were employed which correctly identified the causative species, C...

When a patient on peritoneal dialysis (PD) presents with suspected PD-related peritonitis (e.g. cloudy PD fluid and abdominal pain), one of the most important initial aspects of management is for the nephrology nurse/home dialysis nurse to collect PD effluent specimens for white blood cells count, Gram stain, culture and sensitivity for inspection and to send for laboratory testing before antibiotics are started. A review by seven members of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) Nursing Committee of all 133 questions posted to the ISPD website 'Questions about PD' over the last 4 years (January 2018-December 2021), revealed 97 posted by nephrology nurses from around the world...

BACKGROUND: The first case of Taralomyces flavus infection in human and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient after exposure to biocontrol agent fumes is reported here. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old Thai female farmer with kidney failure presented with peritonitis and PD catheter obstruction from fungal biofilms. The potential root cause of infection was associated with exposure to biocontrol-agent fumes containing pathogen during agricultural work in her garden. This source of infection has not been mentioned previously...

INTRODUCTION: We sought to evaluate the predictors and outcomes of mold peritonitis in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS: This cohort study included PD patients from the MycoPDICS database who had fungal peritonitis between July 2015-June 2020. Patient outcomes were analyzed by Kaplan Meier curves and the Log-rank test. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model regression was used to estimating associations between fungal types and patients' outcomes...

PURPOSE: Peritonitis is the most important complication with high rate of morbidity and mortality in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) despite the success and advances. Rapid and accurate identification of pathogens causing peritonitis in a CAPD patient is essential for early targeted treatment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of 16S rRNA gene and ITS region PCR and sequencing in detecting bacterial and fungal pathogens from the dialysate of patients undergoing CAPD...

INTRODUCTION: A well-functioning peritoneal catheter is key to success of peritoneal dialysis (PD). The Vicenza "short" catheter is a modified Tenckhoff catheter with a shorter intraperitoneal segment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of catheter-related complications and catheter survival rate using the Vicenza "short" catheter, according to the goals suggested by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guidelines. Second, we compared insertion techniques used in our center...

BACKGROUND: Relapsing and recurrent peritonitis episodes are major causes of technique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD). We examined the efficacy of extended antibiotic therapy for the prevention of relapsing and recurrent peritonitis. METHODS: From February 2016 to November 2018 we recruited 254 PD patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for PD peritonitis. They were randomized to a standard group, with the duration of intraperitoneal (IP) antibiotic treatment following the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guideline according to the causative microorganisms, and an extended group, with 1 extra week of IP antibiotics...

BACKGROUND: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) remains the most frequent severe side effect of hemodialysis (HD) and increases patient morbidity and mortality. Excessive ultrafiltration (UF) is considered the leading cause of IDH. This study developed a suitable prescription of UF to reduce the incidences of IDH episodes. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed to analyze 33,224 HD/hemodiafiltration (HDF) treatments in 312 patients. The prescription of UF were determined following the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guideline...

GUIDELINE 1: A pathophysiological taxonomy: A pathophysiological classification of membrane dysfunction, which provides mechanistic links to functional characteristics, should be used when prescribing individualized dialysis or when planning modality transfer (e.g. to automated peritoneal dialysis (PD) or haemodialysis) in the context of shared and informed decision-making with the person on PD, taking individual circumstances and treatment goals into account.

GUIDELINE 2A: Identification of fast peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR): It is recommended that the PSTR is determined from a 4-h peritoneal equilibration test (PET), using either 2...
