Questions About PD

  1. i have a patient who is newly stated on Pd for 2 months .He devloped leaking after an exit site infection , no tunnel infection & no peritonitis . The exit site infection resolved , we held the pd for few days , tried to decrease the fill volume & still leaking .shull we removed the PD & reinsert a new cathter what is the ispd guidlines in this case ? thank you

  2. I had heard in my initial training that a patient should be given antibiotics prior to having a colonoscopy; what are the guidelines on this?

  3. I have always performed follow up PDF Cultures 7-14 days post antibiotic treatment for peritonitis. I have been informed not all dialysis units practice this. I have searched the ISPD Guidelines on detailed recommendations but unsuccessful. Is this not necessary?
