Abstract

A prospective study. To evaluate the advantages of continuous peritoneal lavage in treating peritonitis occurring during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis a prospective study was planned in one Center during a 5 months period. 32 cases of peritonitis divided in two groups were treated according to 2 different protocols, one with continuous peritoneal lavage, the other one with the standard dialysis technique using the bags. Intraperitoneal administration of antibiotics was similar in both groups. Results show no significant advantages in using peritoneal lavage. Continuous lavage should be restricted to cases whose treatment is started late as well as those with purulent dialysate and fungi infections.
