Q

How to diagnose PD peritonitis?

A

**2/3 **
a. clinical features
b. dialysis effluent:
>50% polymorphonucleus cells
>100/uL WBC
>0.1 x 10*9/L WBC (after 2hrs dwell)
c. +ve effluent culture

Q

Antibiotics for PD peritonitis

A
  1. Emperic abx **(IP) **:
    Gram pos coverage: 1st gen cephalosporin / vancomycin
    Gram neg: 3rd gen **cephalosporin / aminoglycoside
    Cefepime: monotherapy **

Aminoglycoside
- cant be use os monotherapy
- +post abx effect (exhibit [ ] dependent activity even below MIC
- suggest for intermittent daily dosing IP
- SE: irrevesible ototoxicity
- RF: elderly / episodes of peritonitis / cumulative dose of amikacin / vancomycin
- prevention: oral NAC 600mg bd, avoid prolonged / repeated use

  1. culture guided therapy
  2. Adjunct therapy
    - heparin 500u/L IP - prevent fibrin clog
    - pain mx: analgesic / rapid cycler (augmented peritoneal lavage)
    - IP urokinase + rifampicin (following CONS inf) : prevent biofim formation esp in refractory (not proven)

Q

Mx of PD peritonitis as in-pt

A
  1. hemodynamic instability /shock
  2. persistent severe symptoms

Q

Complication of PD peritonitis

A

1. Fluid overload
- increase inflammation > vasodilatation > increase effective peritoneal surface area > increase transfer rate > faster absorption of glucose > early osmotic equilibration > transient loss of UF capacity
- —high transporter
- use icodextrin

**2. increase protein loss

  1. intraabdominal abscesses / systemic seeding **

Q

indication for catheter removal

Q

Pattern of treatment outcome

A

1. Early responses
2. delayed response: gradual decline of effluent WBC but still above 100/uL on D5 *
3. treatment failure: not cure by abx, change modality to HD temporarily of permanent / peritonitis related
death*
**4.medical cure: **complete resolution with NONE of the cx (relapse / recurrent / removal / death / transfer to HD > 30 days

Q

Reporting, monitoring and measuring

A

monitor:
1. PD related peritonitis rate (after PD commencement)
2. antimicrobial susceptibility of organism
3. culture negative peritonitis
4. peritonitis outcome
5. mean time to 1st peritonitis episode
6. % of pt with peritonitis free (aim: >80% / year)

Q

Specific definition following peritonitis

A
  1. Refractory
  2. recurrent: different organism, within 4/52 of abx completion
  3. relapsing: same organism, with 4/52 of completion abx
  4. repeat: same organism, > 4/52 of abx completion
17
Q

PD contamination

A
  1. DRY contamination
    - contamination outside a closed PD system
  2. WET contamination
    - contamination with an open system, either dialysate is infused after contamination / cath set left open for extended period
    - + prophylatic abx
    - change sterile transfer set
    - PD effluent send for cell count + culture
18
Q

How to reduce the peritonitis rate in your center?

A
  1. systemic prophylatic abx per cath insertion: IV cefazolin / cefuroxime / genta / vanco
  2. exit side care: topical abx, proper PD cath immobilization , avoid mechanical stress
  3. proper training and re-training (both staff and pt)
  4. pre-procedures prophylactic abx
  5. no domestic pet / prevent zoonotic infection
  6. avoid HYPOkalemia / constipation- bacterial translocation
  7. Avoid H2 rec antagonist - suppress gastric acidity
  8. Avoid constipation
  9. anti-fungal prophylaxis
    - oral nystatin 500k u qid
    - oral fluconazole 200mg eod
    (during abx therapy)
  10. revisit on environmental RF: PD fluid / hospital air / water contamination
  11. *choose pt wisely
