Questions About PD

  1. I have a PD patient who needs a PEG tube after cardiac arrest. How long do I hold PD after the PEG tube is placed ?

  2. We are incorporating a diabetes educator into our PD clinic. She says she could only find three articles on the effects of glucose based dialysis solution on diabetics. Are you aware of any good studies or information regarding this subject? Thank you so much,

  3. Does the routine collection of PD fluid cultures 2 weeks after the completion of antibiotics for PD peritonitis detect relapsing or recurrent peritonitis more effectively than waiting for clinical signs/symptoms of peritonitis to develop in the absence of repeat cultures? What are the recommendations around this practice?
