Background Diabetes mellitus, especially if complicated by poor glycemic control, portends
an increased risk of infection. The significance of this association in the case of diabetic …

We compared a group of 60 insulin-dependent diabetics maintained on CAPO with 60
nondiabetic matched controls to determine if the diabetic patients were at increased risk for …

Data comparing peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infection rates between diabetic and
nondiabetic patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis are conflicting. We carried out a …

Background The optimal time for the commencement of peritoneal dialysis (PD) after PD
catheter insertion is unclear. If dialysis is started too soon after insertion, dialysate leaks and …

Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a kind of renal replacement therapy for end-stage
renal disease (ESRD). While PD has many advantages, various complications may arise …

Background Diabetic patients treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD) have been reported to be at
an increased risk of peritonitis. This has been attributed to impairment in host defense, visual …

Introduction: Loss of residual renal function (RRF) as well as high peritoneal glucose
exposure are associated with increased peritonitis frequency in peritoneal dialysis (PD) …

Aim: We investigated the association of peritoneal glucose exposure and dialysis exchange
number with peritonitis outcome in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal …

Background Although peritoneal dialysis (PD) is becoming more widespread, PD among
diabetic patients carries some concerns, such as worsened glycemic control due to constant …

Background and objective Little or no clinical evidence is available on the association
