TL;DR: Patients with low average, and particularly low peritoneal transport rates were likely to develop symptoms and signs of inadequate dialysis as their residual renal function became negligible, particularly in individuals with high body surface area.
Abstract: Peritoneal transfer rates of urea, creatinine, glucose, protein potassium, and sodium as well as drain and residual volumes were measured during 103 equilibration tests performed in 18 diabetic and...

TL;DR: Recommendations under the auspices of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) were first published in 1983 and revised in 1993, 1996, 2000, 2005, and 2010 are revised.
Abstract: Peritonitis is a common and serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Although less than 5% of peritonitis episodes result in death, peritonitis is the direct or major contributing cause of death in around 16% of PD patients (1-6). In addition, severe or prolonged peritonitis leads to structural and functional alterations of the peritoneal membrane, eventually leading to membrane failure. Peritonitis is a major cause of PD technique failure and conversion to long-term hemodialysis (1,5,7,8). Recommendations under the auspices of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) were first published in 1983 and revised in 1993, 1996, 2000, 2005, and 2010 (9-14). The present recommendations are organized into 5 sections: 1. Peritonitis rate 2. Prevention of peritonitis 3. Initial presentation and management of peritonitis 4. Subsequent management of peritonitis 5.

TL;DR: Peritonitis remains a leading complication of peritoneal dialysis, and sometimes is associated with death of the patient, and the PD community continues to focus attention on prevention and treatment of PD-related infections.
Abstract: Peritonitis remains a leading complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). It contributes to technique failure and hospitalization, and sometimes is associated with death of the patient. Severe and prolonged peritonitis can lead to peritoneal membrane failure. Therefore, the PD community continues to focus attention on prevention and treatment of PD-related infections.
