ABSTRACT Introduction: Exit site infections (ESIs), the most common complication in
peritoneal dialysis (PD), are responsible for 20% of peritonitis, 20% of catheter removals and …

Exit-site infection (ESI) is still one of the most important technical complications in peritoneal
dialysis because it can lead to peritonitis and catheter loss. Catheter choice does not appear …

Objective Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infection is a common cause of catheter loss and
the main reason for PD drop-out. Exit-site infection (ESI) is a pathway to developing tunnel …

Exit-site infections (ESIs) increase the risk of developing peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis
and PD technique failure. There are no clear guidelines on how to monitor exit site (ES) after …

Exit site infection (ESI) is a leading complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), at an incidence
of 0.6 episodes per year in the United States, and a major risk factor for catheter removal …

INTRODUCTION—Peritoneal dialysis requires the placement and maintenance of a catheter
that transverses the patient's abdominal wall and extends from the outer abdominal surface …

Catheter exit site infection (ESI) is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), and a
major risk factor for peritonitis or catheter removal. Early diagnosis, intensive treatment and …

The median follow-up was 29.1 (14.0-47.4) months. In this population the adverse outcomes
of TI rate and peritonitis rate was 0.12 and 0.13 patient/year, respectively. Male sex (0.048) …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is being applied in an increasing number of patients, proving its
efficacy and, in several respects, its many advantages as a first modality of renal …

Aim: Catheter‐related infection is a major cause of catheter loss in peritoneal dialysis (PD).
We evaluated the effect of catheter revision on the treatment of intractable exit site infection …
