Dialysis adequacy (PD) (2005)

Evidence for Peritonitis Treatment and Prophylaxis
(2004)

 Dialysis adequacy:

• Small solute clearance targets in peritoneal dialysis  
• Monitoring patients on peritoneal dialysis
• Selection of patients for automated peritoneal dialysis versus CAPD
• Optimising small solute clearances in PD
• Peritoneal transport and ultrafiltration

 Evidence for Peritonitis Treatment and Prophylaxis:

• PD systems and solutions
• PD-associated peritonitis in children
• Indications for recommencement of PD
• Indications for removal of PD catheters
• Use of urokinase
• Type of PD catheter
• Technique of insertion of PD catheter
• Prophylactic antibiotics for insertion of PD catheters
• Timing of commencement of dialysis
• Treatment of PD associated fungal peritonitis
• PD catheter related infection
• Exit site and tunnel infection-mupirocin
• Treatment of PD associated peritonitis in adults
