From the Research
Typhoid Peritonitis and Peritoneal Dialysis
- Typhoid peritonitis is not explicitly mentioned as a contraindication to peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the provided studies.
- However, faecal peritonitis is listed as an absolute contraindication for PD 1.
- It can be inferred that typhoid peritonitis, being a type of peritonitis, may be considered a relative or absolute contraindication to PD, depending on the specific circumstances and the patient's condition.
- The studies suggest that peritonitis is a manageable complication of PD, and with proper treatment and management, it is not a contraindication to this mode of renal replacement therapy 2, 3, 4.
Peritonitis and Peritoneal Dialysis
- Peritonitis is a common complication of PD, and its prevention and treatment are crucial to the success of PD therapy 2, 3, 4.
- The studies highlight the importance of proper management and treatment of peritonitis to prevent technique failure and infection-related mortality 2, 3, 4.
- The use of biocompatible dialysis solutions, daily mupirocin at the exit-site, and other treatment changes have been shown to reduce the incidence of peritonitis and improve outcomes in PD patients 2.
