When end-stage kidney disease complicates abdominal surgery

Susie Q Lew et al. Semin Dial. 2020 May.

Abstract

Patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) encounter an increased risk for infection, bleeding, and PD fluid leakage after abdominal surgery. These complications may affect the future use of PD. Appropriate patient preparation may mitigate complications. Certain complications or procedures allow patients to remain on PD while others require transition to hemodialysis. We review the etiology and management of infection, bleeding, and PD fluid leakage associated with abdominal surgery as well as the relationship of specific abdominal procedures to continuing PD.

Keywords: abdominal surgery; bleeding; end-stage kidney disease; gynecologic surgery; hernia; infection; peritoneal dialysis; peritoneal dialysis catheter; peritoneal dialysis fluid leakage.
