Peritoneal Dialysis following Peritoneal Catheter Removal for Peritonitis: 10 Year Experience from a Single Institution

Ivy N Haskins, MD, Michael J Rosen, MD, FACS, Arielle J Perez, MD, Luciano Tastaldi, MD, Ajita S Prabhu, MD, FACS, David M Krpata, MD, Steven Rosenblatt, MD, FACS. Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation

Introduction: The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to rise in the United States while the utilization of peritoneal dialysis (PD) continues to decline. Catheter-associated infections, specifically peritonitis, is reported to occur in 6% of patients and remains a leading complication of PD. PD associated peritonitis is a major impetus for patient transition to hemodialysis (HD) either due to resulting adhesive disease and catheter non-function following successful treatment of peritonitis with antibiotics or catheter removal at the time of peritonitis. Herein, we detail our PD catheter experience and the PD-catheter associated outcomes of those patients diagnosed with peritonitis.

Methods: In 2005, our institution adopted the best-demonstrated principles of PD catheter placement, including laparoscopy, rectus sheath tunneling, and selective omentopexy. Retrospective chart review was performed on all patients who underwent PD catheter placement at our institution from January 2005 through December 2015. Those patients who were diagnosed with peritonitis were identified. The cause of peritonitis, duration of antibiotic treatment, and PD catheter outcomes were recorded.

Results: A total of 457 patients underwent PD catheter placement at our institution during the defined study period. Twenty-seven (5.9%) patients had at least one PD catheter removal related to peritonitis. Within this cohort, the average age at PD catheter placement was 57.3 years, the average body mass index (BMI) was 28.5 kg/m2, and 13 (48.1%) patients were female. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were the two main causes of end-stage renal disease (n = 18, 66.7%). Twenty-four (88.9%) patients had acute peritonitis at the time of PD catheter removal while 3 (11.1%) patients had their PD catheter removed for chronic peritonitis. The average time from PD catheter placement to peritonitis was 429.6 days. Culture-positive peritonitis occurred in 24 (88.9%) patients. Gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi were all causes of peritonitis. Twelve (44.4%) patients had their PD catheter replaced after treatment of peritonitis with antibiotics. The average time from PD catheter removal to replacement was 214.9 days. Of the 12 patients who had their PD catheter replaced, 7 (36.8%) still have their PD catheter in place, for an average time of 196.4 days.

Conclusions: To date, this is the largest single center experience with PD catheters. The rate of PD associated peritonitis at our institution parallels the national average. The prompt diagnosis and treatment of PD associated peritonitis facilitates successful replacement and long-term utilization of PD.

Respuesta de SAGES al Estudio NordICC sobre el beneficio de las colonoscopias de detección

SAGES desea aclarar los resultados del estudio NordICC y colocarlos en contexto de los esfuerzos de varias agencias nacionales para reducir el riesgo de cáncer colorrectal – la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer más frecuente en los Estados Unidos-, mediante la promoción de la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las lesiones.

SAGES Response to NordICC Study Regarding Benefit of Screening Colonoscopies

The NordICC Study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine and widely reported on by media outlets has raised questions regarding the benefit of screening colonoscopy in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and cancer-related deaths among otherwise healthy and symptom-free men and women aged 55 to 64. Provocative headlines and commentaries have […]
