Article Synopsis
- The concept of adequacy in peritoneal dialysis has evolved from focusing mainly on specific goals like solute clearance to prioritizing the overall quality of life for patients.
- This document aims to provide updated recommendations regarding peritoneal dialysis adequacy, covering key areas such as residual kidney function and different types of dialysis methods.
- A systematic approach (GRADE) was employed to highlight the quality of evidence for recommendations, and the document references a recent guide by experts from the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis for additional support.

Background: This study focuses on the main complication associated with peritoneal dialysis, peritonitis. Its relevance derives from its high morbidity, the negative effect it has on the peritoneum as a dialysis membrane and its financial cost.
Methods: Analytical, non-interventional, observational cohort study, whose main objective is the analysis of peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis in Andalusia from 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2017, with a total of 2904 peritonitis cases.
