A predictive model to estimate post-donation glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and risk of CKD at 1-year was developed from a Toulouse-Rangueil cohort in 2017 and showed an excellent correlation to the observed 1-year post-donation eGFR. We retrospectively analyzed all living donor kidney transplants performed at a single center from 1998 to 2020. Observed eGFR using CKD-EPI formula at 1-year post-donation was compared to the predicted eGFR using the formula eGFR (CKD-EPI, mL/min/1.

We present an exceedingly rare case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis due to in a patient with a recent history of periodontal infection, successfully treated with intraperitoneal antibiotics. We propose that clinicians consider this organism as a potential cause of illness.
