Insertion of a catheter is needed to perform peritoneal dialysis. Techniques for insertion vary and have different drawbacks with regard to risk for leakage, secondary peritonitis, and catheter dysfunction. This study includes 85 consecutive patients who underwent a total of 114 insertions; peritoneal dialysis catheters (Tenckhoff, double-cuffed) were inserted under local anesthesia and using a lateral technique--through the rectus muscle--plus 3 purse-string sutures. Dialysis in all patients was started in the direct course of insertion of the catheter. One early but no late leakage occurred; leakage occurred in a patient in whom the second purse-string suture failed. The lateral insertion technique enables immediate start of dialysis and considerably reduces the risk for leakage from peritoneal dialysis fluid.

Abnormal neurovascular coupling exists in patients with peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis: evidence from a multi-mode MRI study.

Background: Neurovascular coupling (NVC), as indicated by a comprehensive analysis of the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and cerebral blood flow (CBF), provides mechanistic insights into neurological disorders. Patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) often face cognitive impairment, the causes of which are not fully understood.
Methods: ALFF was derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging, and CBF was quantified using arterial spin labeling in a cohort comprising 58 patients with PD, 60 patients with HD and 62 healthy controls.

Infectious complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) remain a constant challenge, with atypical pathogens posing significant risks. This case from Thailand highlights the rare occurrence of , an often-overlooked non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), as the causative agent in a catheter-related exit-site infection that progressed to peritonitis. Initially misattributed to from preceding exit-site infections, was ultimately identified as the primary pathogen through multiple effluent cultures and advance polymerase chain reaction sequencing.

Background: We aimed to explore changes in decision-related brain microstructure, brain functional activities, and functional connectivity, and their correlations with cognitive function in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Furthermore, the impact of dialysis on these changes was examined.
Methods: Thirty ESKD patients undergoing PD, 20 chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 patients without dialysis (predialysis CKD stage 5), and 30 healthy controls (HC) were recruited for the study.
Dose-Response Relationship of Phloretin Therapy on Water and Glucose Transport during Experimental Peritoneal Dialysis.

Background: Water retention, ultrafiltration insufficiency, and metabolic complications due to abnormally high glucose concentrations are still common problems in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis. Phloretin, a nonselective inhibitor of facilitative glucose transporter channels (GLUT), has shown to improve water transport and lower glucose absorption in experimental peritoneal dialysis. However, the dose-response relationship remains unknown, and we therefore performed a dose-response study to elucidate the pharmacodynamic properties of intra-peritoneal phloretin therapy.

Exit-site infections (ESIs) of peritoneal dialysis catheters can cause serious complications if not promptly treated. Uncommon pathogens like are infrequently associated with these infections. We report a 26-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease due to Alport syndrome, presenting with recurrent purulent discharge and erythema at the Tenckhoff catheter exit site.
