this, there are no clear guidelines for the management of repeat exit-site infection (ESI), and …

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 …

Background: Exit-site infection (ESI) is a common complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD)

Background Exit-site infection (ESI) and tunnel infection (TI) of the peritoneal dialysis (PD)
catheter are significant causes of catheter or even method loss as well as patient morbidity …

Background Relapsing peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with lower cure
