Amphotericin B is the drug of choice in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) associated fungal peritonitis and is usually administered intraperitoneally. The drug is stated to be incompatible with anions. All CAPD fluids contain chloride and lactate anions. Therefore, the physical and chemical compatibility of amphotericin B with dextrose 5%, Dianeal 1.36% CAPD fluid, and Dianeal 1.36% peritoneal effluent was studied at amphotericin B concentrations of 1, 2, and 5 mg/L. Amphotericin B was most stable in Dianeal CAPD fluid. The rate of degradation was concentration dependent in dextrose 5% and peritoneal effluent. The higher the concentration, the lower the rate of degradation. After an incubation of 6 h at 37 degrees C, no significant decomposition was found at all concentrations studied in Dianeal CAPD fluid whereas 12-18% decomposition was found in effluent. No physical incompatibility with any solution was observed.

Emphysematous polycystic renal infection (EPRI) has a poor prognosis with conservative management, and early surgical nephrectomy has been recommended. However, percutaneous cyst drainage may be a possible treatment option. We experienced 6 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presenting with EPRI.

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is used for the maintenance dialysis in patients with end stage renal disease. Treatment's complications in CAPD generally exist, of which transudate hydrothorax falls under the minority of the cases. Here, we aim to present a case of a 51 years old female, a newly diagnosed case of chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing CAPD for 3 weeks who presented at our institution with complaints of difficulty in breathing.

This paper discusses the case of a patient with exudative bacterial pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus warneri. The patient had been abusing alcohol and nicotine for several decades, which should be considered an immunosuppressive factor. Staphylococcus warneri is part of the skin microbiome, but can also be a pathogenic agent in certain circumstances.

Peritoneal dialysis adoption and technique survival is affected by limitations related to peritoneal membrane longevity and metabolic alterations. Indeed, almost all peritoneal dialysis fluids exploit glucose as an osmotic agent that rapidly diffuses across the peritoneal membrane, potentially resulting in metabolic abnormalities such as hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. Moreover, glucose-degradation products generated during heat sterilization, other than glucose itself, induce significant morphological and functional changes in the peritoneum leading to ultrafiltration failure.
