Peritoneal Infections, Hernias and Related Complications

  • Chapter
Replacement of Renal Function by Dialysis

Abstract

Ever since the introduction of peritoneal dialysis in the management of renal failure, complications related to the technique, in particular peritonitis and access related problems, have bedevilled its wider use and acceptance. Even after the introduction of CAPD in 1976 (1) and the subsequent technical and other advances, these problems still remain the Achilles heel of peritoneal dialysis therapy. They account for considerable morbidity, hospitalisation and therapy change to haemodialysis and indeed remain pre-eminent areas of research to try and minimise these complications. This chapter addresses the topic of peritoneal infections (peritonitis, exit site and tunnel infections, sclerosing peritonitis) and hernia and related complications. Problems related to peritoneal access are addressed in a related chapter
