We prospectively evaluated early (within 40 days) catheter complications in all patients receiving a dialysis catheter between 1/8/80 and 1/8/81. 50% of patients achieved a functioning catheter at the first insertion and 24% required replacement of the catheter because of poor dialysate flow. Leaking from the catheter exit site occurred in 20%, infection at the exit site in 9% and peritonitis in 19% of patients. In patients who maintain a catheter over 40 days and undergo treatment by long-term peritoneal dialysis median catheter survival was 400 days with delayed cytheter failure primarily due to failure to resolve a clinical episode of peritonitis. Although the Tenckhoff catheter is readily inserted frequent complications occur.

Introduction: Peritoneal catheters are a fundamental form of dialysis access. An appreciation of the principles of catheter design is important for practitioners involved in the insertion and maintenance of peritoneal dialysis access. Although silicone dual-cuffed catheters are standard, the optimal catheter design remains uncertain.

Article Synopsis
- - Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease, but it can have complications like infections and mechanical obstructions, which may involve organs such as the omentum and, rarely, the fallopian tube fimbriae.
- - A 65-year-old woman on peritoneal dialysis experienced abdominal pain and decreased catheter flow, leading to a CT scan that indicated a mechanical obstruction.
- - Surgery revealed that her fallopian tube fimbriae were trapped in the dialysis catheter, which was freed and repositioned; she recovered well and resumed dialysis without further complications.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to a high rate of complications requiring hospital admission for advanced management. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the main causes of hospitalization following the initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT).
Materials And Methods: This observational and descriptive study utilized a non-probabilistic quota sampling method, reviewing a total of 423 medical records from General Regional Hospital 1 of the Mexican Social Security Institute in Querétaro.

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important renal replacement therapy in patients with end-stage renal disease. PD catheters remain the lifeline for patients undergoing PD. The catheter technique survival rate is considered a core PD outcome domain.
