Reinitiation of peritoneal dialysis after catheter removal for refractory peritonitis.
CONCLUSION: Notwithstanding the small cohort size, the present study demonstrates that reinitiating PD is feasible in a developing country, and also that reinitiation of PD is possible after an episode of P. aeruginosa and fungal peritonitis. However, future studies in a larger patient cohort and assessing dialysis adequacy are required to confirm and extend our findings.
