Objective The objective of our research was to summarize and review evidence supporting a
causal relationship between exit-site infection and peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) …

No scientific data exist to support inpatient peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion (PDCI).
There is also no evidence to support that regular flushing of PDCs prior to PD training …

Background Few patients are able to resume peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy after an
episode of peritonitis that requires catheter removal. PD catheter loss is therefore regarded …

Purpose To prevent peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infection, components of self-catheter
care have been emphasized. However, studies on the effectiveness of home recording for …

Background. This review describes the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter implantation
techniques for the treatment of PD. The PD catheter-related complications still cause …

Aim Catheter migration is an important cause of catheter malfunction in peritoneal dialysis
(PD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of early detection of catheter …

Background. A safe and well-functioning peritoneal catheter is fundamental for adequate
peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Peritoneal catheter implantation by Moncrief–Popovich …

Conclusions No particular PD catheter type, placement, insertion technique, break-in period,
or other catheter intervention has been shown to be superior in terms of preventing catheter …

♦ Objective A new method for implantation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters was
described in 1991. The distal part of the catheter is buried subcutaneously and exteriorized …

Background High-quality peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion pathways are essential
for optimal access to the therapy. Dialysis outcomes are influenced by a range of patient and …
