Fourth time pd peritonitis - most times negative growth. what's standard protocol for treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of the time: Peritoneal dialysis is switched to hemodialysis , repeated infections ( peritonitis ) will obliterate the the peritoneal space , fibrous tissue grows around pd catheter , will not allow good inflow and out flow return makes it impossible to dialyze, of course ideal is kidney transplant . Good luck.
