Background: The objective of this study was to compare the complications of low-site
peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement and traditional open surgery in peritoneal …

Upon peritoneal dialysis (PD) discontinuation in frail patients, we have re-embedded the
catheter and left it subcutaneously buried. However, we have not evaluated the long-term …

Although the ability of CAPD to successfully treat end-stage renal disease is now well
established, exitsite infection (ESI) remains a serious cause of morbidity. The objective of …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) interruption requiring hemodialysis (HD) is not uncommon and its
frequently abrupt nature prevents timely creation of permanent HD access and avoidance of …

Exit-site infection (ESI) in CAPD can lead to significant morbidity and catheter loss. In one
study 19% of peritoneal catheter loss was due to ESI alone, and 57% of catheter loss was …

Executive summary Objective The objective of this review was to appraise and synthesise
the best available evidence on the clinical effectiveness of peritoneal dialysis catheter exit …

The importance of exit-site infections (ESIs) as a source of peritonitis and catheter loss in
continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients is unknown. We collected data …

Objectives Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the first-line modalities of renal replacement
therapy in patients with end-stage renal disease. Guidelines recommended a break-in …

Introduction: In patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) suitable for peritoneal
dialysis (PD), PD should ideally be planned and initiated electively (planned-start PD). If …

Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) relies on the optimal functionality of the flexible plastic
PD catheter present within the peritoneal cavity to enable effective treatment. As a result of …
