Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis and Kidney Transplant Outcomes.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

People who had peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis were more likely to have kidney transplant failure, based on data from over 1,000 patients in Australia and New Zealand. This study shows a link between infection during dialysis and worse transplant outcomes, but it cannot prove that the infection caused the failure.
