Peritonitis

  • Chapter
Nolph and Gokal's Textbook of Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritonitis remains a major complication of peritoneal dialysis, accounting for much of the morbidity associated with the technique. Peritonitis accounts for 15–35% of hospital admissions and is the major cause of transfer to hemodialysis (technique failure) [1–7]. High peritonitis rates are associated with mortality, either as a primary or contributing factor [8–11].
