Key Points In a large multinational cohort of PD patients, any GAS use was not associated with an increased risk all-organism peritonitis. For peritonitis, risks were particularly high among certain classes organisms for Gram-negative, enteric, and streptococcal peritonitis episodes. The association enteric appeared to be stronger H2RA users. Background Peritonitis is major peritoneal dialysis–related complication. We determined whether gastric acid suppression (GAS) (proton pump inhibitor...
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) pericatheter exit-site leaks most commonly occur early, within 30 days of catheter insertion. Late are rare. The distinction between early and late is important because the causes subsequent management strategies may be different. Early can often first treated by delaying or holding PD therapy, allowing prolongation healing time fibrous tissue continues to form around deep cuff. less likely heal with cessation alone require replacement. In this case report, we...
Background: Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) who return to dialysis (RTD) have high morbidity. Whether continue immunosuppression (IS) after RTD remains uncertain and involves balancing IS-related risks with preventing terminal rejection allo-sensitization that may preclude re-transplantation. Objectives: We conducted a quality improvement study characterize IS practices following RTD, determine incidence of potential complications, catastrophic events, re-transplantation for patients in...
