I need help! how do i know if i have infection on permcath?

Fever blood cx: I assume you mean dialysis catheter, if so you need to have blood cultures taken. Also you can have a local infection around the catheter which can not necessarily be in the bloodstream. This needs to be evaluated by your nephrologists and nurse at dialysis. Hope this answers your question.
