Abstract
AbstractApproximately 10 years have passed since the Peritoneal Dialysis Guidelines were formulated in 2009. Much evidence has been reported during the succeeding years, which were not taken into consideration in the previous guidelines, e.g., the next peritoneal dialysis PD trial of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) in Japan, the significance of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), the effects of icodextrin solution, new developments in peritoneal pathology, and a new international recommendation on a proposal for exit-site management. It is essential to incorporate these new developments into the new clinical practice guidelines. Meanwhile, the process of creating such guidelines has changed dramatically worldwide and differs from the process of creating what were “clinical practice guides.” For this revision, we not only conducted systematic reviews using global standard methods but also decided to adopt a two-part structure to create a reference tool, which could be used widely by the society’s members attending a variety of patients. Through a working group consensus, it was decided that Part 1 would present conventional descriptions and Part 2 would pose clinical questions (CQs) in a systematic review format. Thus, Part 1 vastly covers PD that would satisfy the requirements of the members of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT). This article is the duplicated publication from the Japanese version of the guidelines and has been reproduced with permission from the JSDT.

Abstract
We reviewed 30 patients in an automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) program from 2002 to 2006 for peritonitis. Patients were 11.6 ± 5.5 years old at initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and had a total of 976 PD months. The overall peritonitis rate was 1 episode in 54.2 patient– months, for a rate of 0.22 episode annually. The rate was considered low, which other than being an APD program, may be attributed to adherence to guidelines and in-charge nurse policy. A total of 17 episodes of peritonitis were identified in 9 patients, and the distribution of patient-specific peritonitis incidence appeared bimodal: 87% patients had no or only 1 episode of peritonitis, and 4 patients accounted for 12 episodes, with an average peritonitis rate of 1.0 annually. Causative organisms included Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, enterococci, alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus. Five episodes had concurrent exit-site infection with the same organism. During the same period in these 30 patients, 40 episodes of exit-site infection (ESI) were recorded in 23 patients. The overall ESI rate was 1 episode in 24.4 PD months. S. aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the two most common pathogens, accounting for 70% of the infections. Nasal carriage of MRSA was found in 4 patients, and MRSA ESIs in 2. The ESI rate was not low as that observed in peritonitis, which may be attributed to the humid climate.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to share the experience of chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) at King Hussein Medical Center, Amman, Jordan, and to highlight the complications of this procedure. This is a retrospective chart review study for all the children from day 1 of life to 14 years, who underwent chronic PD for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during the period of 10 years extending from 2009 to 2019. The following data were collected: mode of dialysis, type of peritoneal dialysis, age of starting peritoneal dialysis, gender, aetiology of ESRD, duration on PD, complications and outcome. A total number of 269 children were included: 229 patients received haemodialysis and 40 children (22 boys and 18 girls) received PD. Of those, two children were on automated PD and 38 children were on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The mean age at the start of PD was 62 ± 38 months. The mean duration of PD was 43 months. The mean catheter duration was 34 months. Six patients were shifted to haemodialysis permanently and four patients received a kidney transplant. Eleven patients died. The most common complications were peritonitis (52.5%), exit-site infection (30%) and malfunctioning catheter (12.5%). The rate of peritonitis was one episode per 22 patient-months. Peritoneal dialysis is a promising mode of dialysis for children in Jordan. Peritonitis is the most common complication associated with PD. Kidney transplantation is the best modality of renal replacement therapy in terms of long-term survival and quality of life and should be encouraged on national level.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the preferred dialysis modality in children and adolescents aged less than 15 years. Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis remains a major cause of morbidity and reason for dropout from the PD program, although the incidence of peritonitis seems to have decreased during the past few years. Improved patient care, more frequent use of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), use of PD catheters with downward facing exit sites, and Staphylococcus aureus prophylaxis account for this decline in infectious complications. With respect to the isolated micro-organism in PD-associated peritonitis, a predominance of gram-positive germs is found in children. Recent registry data suggest a decrease in coagulase-negative staphylococci, with a relative increase in gram-negative peritonitis episodes. The empiric antibiotic treatment regimen using a first-generation cephalosporin or a glycopeptide in combination with a third-generation cephalosporin in a risk-stratified manner was suggested in the pediatric peritonitis treatment guidelines. This regimen is currently being evaluated in the International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry.

Abstract
♦ Objectives Recommendations for the management of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis in children have recently been developed by an International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) expert committee. The International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry (IPPR) was established in October 2001 as a global consortium of 47 pediatric dialysis centers in order to assess the validity of these guidelines. ♦ Design The IPPR is an internet-based registry collecting data on pediatric peritonitis episodes treated according to the ISPD guidelines. Data on 375 episodes have been collected as of July 2004. ♦ Data Acquisition Detailed data are obtained online on the diagnosis of peritonitis, antibiotic and adjunctive therapy, as well as on possible risk factors and treatment results. ♦ Conclusions Final data analysis of the IPPR will yield extensive information on the treatment and outcome of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis in children.

Abstract
In general, in peritoneal dialysis (PD) practice in hospitals, Twardowski and Prowant's exit-site classification system is used, while the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) exit-site scoring system is practical to use in community visits with less experienced healthcare personnel. Nevertheless, when exit-site scoring is 3 points under the ISPD exit-site score system and it falls in the category of equivocal under the Twardowski and Prowant's exit-site classification, the physician should be vigilant about the possibility of developing peritonitis, and hence, patients need to be kept under periodic monitoring.

Hypogammaglobulinemia in infants receiving chronic peritoneal dialysis. Pediatr Nephrol 2017; 32:503-509.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritonitis is a severe complication of chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) in infants. Few studies have been conducted to evaluate the relationship between hypogammaglobulinemia and peritonitis risk, and the potential benefit of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) therapy in infants receiving CPD. METHODS Patients aged 0-12 months at initiation of CPD between 1985 and 2012 were eligible for inclusion in this retrospective study. Data collected from the start of CPD up to 2 years post-dialysis initiation included patient demographics, dialysis characteristics, serum immunoglobulin (IgG) levels, IVIG administration history, infectious complications and outcomes. Cox regression analysis and linear mixed model analysis were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Twenty-six consecutive patients were included in the study. Annualized peritonitis rates for infants aged 0-30 days (≤1-month age group; n = 16; 320.3 patient-months) and 31-365 days (>1-12-month age group; n = 10; 163.3 patient-months) at dialysis initiation were 0.27 (1 episode per 45.8 patient-months) and 0.15 (one episode per 81.7 patient-months), respectively. Seventy-six percent of the serum IgG levels were >1 standard deviation below the age-appropriate mean levels, and these did not differ in those who developed peritonitis versus those who did not (p = 0.39). Serum IgG levels were significantly lower in patients on CPD with oligoanuria than in non-oliguric patients (p = 0.04) and in patients on CPD for >90 days as compared to those who had received CPD for <90 days (p = 0.018). IVIG therapy was provided to 20 patients with hypogammaglobulinemia; this high prevalence of IVIG usage precluded any drawing of conclusion on the potential role of IVIG in the prevention of peritonitis. CONCLUSIONS Hypogammaglobulinemia is a frequent complication of CPD during infancy. In our experience, it was not associated with an increased risk for peritonitis.

Abstract
Bacterial peritonitis remains the main cause of technique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD). During peritonitis, the peritoneal membrane undergoes structural and functional alterations that are mediated by IL-1β The NLRP3 inflammasome is a caspase-1-activating multiprotein complex that links sensing of microbial and stress products to activation of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β The potential roles of the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β in the peritoneal membrane during acute peritonitis have not been investigated. Here, we show that the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated during acute bacterial peritonitis in patients on PD, and this activation associates with the release of IL-1β in the dialysate. In mice, lipopolysaccharide- or Escherichia coli-induced peritonitis led to IL-1β release in the peritoneal membrane. The genetic deletion of Nalp3, which encodes NLRP3, abrogated defects in solute transport during acute peritonitis and restored ultrafiltration. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells, IL-1β treatment directly enhanced endothelial cell proliferation and increased microvascular permeability. These in vitro effects require endothelial IL-1 receptors, shown by immunofluorescence to be expressed in peritoneal capillaries in mice. Furthermore, administration of the IL-1β receptor antagonist, anakinra, efficiently decreased nitric oxide production and vascular proliferation and restored peritoneal function in mouse models of peritonitis, even in mice treated with standard-of-care antibiotherapy. These data demonstrate that NLRP3 activation and IL-1β release have a critical role in solute transport defects and tissue remodeling during PD-related peritonitis. Blockade of the NLRP3/IL-1β axis offers a novel method for rescuing morphologic alterations and transport defects during acute peritonitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe our experience with achieving therapeutic serum vancomycin concentrations in pediatric continuous renal replacement therapy by using continuous infusion vancomycin by mixing vancomycin into the continuous renal replacement therapy solution. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING A 189-bed, freestanding children's tertiary care teaching hospital in Philadelphia, PA. PATIENTS Pediatric patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy from April 1, 2009, through December 31, 2014. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were a total of 21 patients who received continuous renal replacement therapy during the study period. Of these, 11 (52.3%) received vancomycin in the continuous renal replacement therapy solution. The median (range) concentration of vancomycin added to the continuous renal replacement therapy solution was 25 mg/L (18-35 mg/L). The mean vancomycin plateau level was 22.8 ± 3.3 mg/L. All patients achieved a serum vancomycin plateau level that was greater than 15 mg/L. There were no adverse events related to the addition of vancomycin to the continuous renal replacement therapy solution. CONCLUSIONS The addition of vancomycin to the continuous renal replacement therapy solution(s) is an effective modality that is used for delivering vancomycin continuous infusion and for ensuring therapeutic vancomycin serum plateau levels in the setting of pediatric continuous renal replacement therapy. Further studies are required to evaluate whether this delivery method can lead to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritonitis on catheter of dialysis represents the most frequent complication of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the pediatric population. It remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we investigated the risk factors for peritonitis in children. METHODS In this study, we retrospectively collected the records of 85 patients who were treated with PD within the past ten years in the service of pediatrics of the University Hospital Charles-Nicolle of Tunis. RESULTS Peritonitis rate was 0.75 episode per patient-year. Notably, peritonitis caused by Gram-positive organisms were more common. Analysis of infection risk revealed three significant independent factors: the poor weight (P=0.0045), the non-automated PD (P=0.02) and the short delay from catheter insertion to starting PD (P=0.02). The early onset peritonitis was significantly associated with frequent peritonitis episodes (P=0.0008). The mean duration between the first and second episode of peritonitis was significantly shorter than between PD commencement and the first episode of peritonitis. We revealed a significant association between Gram-negative peritonitis and the presence of ureterostomy (0.018) and between Gram-positive peritonitis and the presence of exit-site and tunnel infections (0.02). Transition to permanent hemodialysis was needed in many children but no death occurred in patients with peritonitis. CONCLUSION Considering the important incidence of peritonitis in our patients, it is imperative to establish a targeted primary prevention. Nutritional care must be provided to children to avoid poor weight. The automated dialysis has to be the modality of choice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Among children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), those who abstract initiated chronic dialysis during the first year of life historically were less likely to survive or receive a kidney transplant compared with those who initiated dialysis later in childhood.We hypothesized that recently treated infants have experienced improved outcomes. METHODS We queried the North American Pediatric Renal Trials and Collaborative Studies database, obtaining information on 628 children who initiated maintenance peritoneal dialysis for treatment of ESRD at ,1 year of age. We further subcategorized these children by age(neonates, #31 days and infants, 32–365 days) and date of dialysis initiation (past,1992–1999, and recent, 2000–2012). RESULTS Survival while on dialysis and overall survival were significantly better among neonates and infants in the recent cohort. Overall survival at 3 years after dialysis initiation was 78.6%and 84.6% among the recently treated neonates and infants, respectively. Neonates and infants in the recent cohort also were more likely to terminate dialysis for transplantation, and graft survival was improved among recently transplanted infants (3-year graft survival 92.1%). CONCLUSIONS Among children who initiate chronic peritoneal dialysis for treatment of ESRD in the first year of life, survival has improved in recent years. Graft survival also has improved for the subset of these patients who received a kidney transplant.

Abstract
Peritonitis is a progressive disease leading inexorably from local peritoneal irritation to overwhelming sepsis and death unless this trajectory is interrupted by timely and effective therapy. In children peritonitis is usually secondary to intraperitoneal disease, the nature of which varies around the world. In rich countries, appendicitis is the principal cause whilst in poor countries diseases such as typhoid must be considered in the differential diagnosis. Where resources are limited, the clinical diagnosis of peritonitis mandates laparotomy for diagnosis and source control. In regions with unlimited resources, radiological investigation, ultrasound, CT scan or MRI may be used to select patients for non-operative management. For patients with appendicitis, laparoscopic surgery has achieved results comparable to open operation; however, in many centres open operation remains the standard. In complicated peritonitis "damage control surgery" may be appropriate wherein source control is undertaken as an emergency with definitive repair or reconstruction awaiting improvement in the patient's general condition. Awareness of abdominal compartment syndrome is essential. Primary peritonitis in rich countries is seen in high-risk groups, such as steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome patients, whilst in poor countries the at-risk population is less well defined and the diagnosis is often made at surgery.

Abstract
In adults with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the preservation of residual renal function (RRF) has been shown to be associated with decreased mortality and improved control of complications of chronic kidney disease. However, less is known on the benefits of RRF in the pediatric dialysis population. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical significance of RRF and to discuss strategies for the preservation of RRF in children with ESRD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Relatively little is known on the microbiology, risk factors and outcomes of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis in Korean children. We performed this study in order to evaluate the incidence, treatment and clinical outcomes of peritonitis in pediatric PD patients at Severance Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed data from 57 PD patients younger than 18 years during the period between June 1, 1986 and December 31, 2011. The collected data included gender, age at commencement of PD, age at peritonitis, incidence of peritonitis, underlying causes of end stage renal disease, microbiology of peritonitis episodes, antibiotics sensitivity, modality and outcomes of PD. RESULTS We found 56 episodes of peritonitis in 23 of the 57 PD patients (0.43 episodes/patient-year). Gram-positive bacteria were the most commonly isolated organisms (40 episodes, 71.4%). Peritonitis developed in 17 patients during the first 6 months following initiation of PD (73.9%). Peritonitis episodes rarely resulted in relapse or the need for permanent hemodialysis and no patient deaths were directly attributable to peritonitis. Antibiotic regimens included cefazolin+tobramycin from the years of 1986 to 2000 and cefazolin+ ceftazidime from the years of 2001 to 2011. While antibiotic therapy was successful in 48 episodes (85.7%), the treatment was ineffective in 8 episodes (14.3%). The rate of continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) peritonitis was statistically higher than that of automated PD (APD) (p=0.025). CONCLUSION Peritonitis was an important complication of PD therapy and we observed a higher incidence of PD peritonitis in patients with CAPD when compared to APD.

Abstract
We evaluated the pharmacokinetics of clindamycin and the dose of clindamycin phosphate necessary to treat peritonitis after intraperitoneal administration of clindamycin phosphate to patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This was an open-label, prospective, single-dose study conducted at the two levels of institutional clinical care in South Korea. Twelve patients (six men and six women; all older than 25 years), mean CAPD duration of 38.2 months with various origins without peritonitis, received 600 mg clindamycin phosphate mixed with only the first 2-L dialysate (1.5% dextrose). The 1.5%, 1.5%, 2.5% and 1.5% dextrose dialysates were serially exchanged every 6 hr. If patients were non-anuric, 24-hr urine samples were also collected. Clindamycin phosphate was incompletely activated to clindamycin in the dialysate. The clindamycin concentration in the dialysate was greater than the effective concentration (5 μg/mL) at 6.87 μg/mL up to 6 hr. So, 600 mg clindamycin phosphate per every 6 hr dialysate is effective for treatment of peritonitis. It has been reported that the clindamycin concentrations in the dialysate may be higher in CAPD patients with peritonitis. Thus, we can expect that intraperitoneal administration of <600 mg clindamycin phosphate per every 6 hr dialysate could be maintained over 5 μg/mL in patients with peritonitis. The transfer of clindamycin was unidirectional from the dialysate to the plasma.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis is the preferred chronic dialysis modality for most children owing to its almost universal applicability and superior compatibility with lifestyle over other modalities. Although technological advances and increasing clinical experience have impacted favorably on patient and technique survival, clinical research in pediatric peritoneal dialysis has been hampered by the low incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the pediatric population. To overcome this limitation, several international registries have emerged in the past few years to complement other long-standing registries, which together have provided useful information regarding technique-specific complications and comorbidities associated with ESRD in children undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis. In this Review, we summarize the most relevant findings from these studies, highlighting the substantial variation in patient conditions, peritoneal dialysis practices and management of comorbidities encountered in different parts of the world.

Abstract
Advances in the understanding and clinical application of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy have resulted in strategies designed to further improve their safety and efficacy. These advances have been particularly important to children, in whom a variety of clinical and technical issues must be taken into consideration for optimum dialysis across a broad spectrum of patient size and need. This manuscript reviews recent data pertaining to the use of renal replacement therapy, with an emphasis on those aspects of dialysis management that are especially pertinent to pediatric ESRD and acute kidney injury care.

Abstract
Peritonitis is a common complication and major cause of morbidity in children on peritoneal dialysis. In this retrospective longitudinal study, we analysed data retrieved from the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA) on 167 patients aged less than 18 years of age who were treated with peritoneal dialysis during the period from October 2003 to December 2007. During this period there were 100 episodes of peritonitis in 57 patients (0.71 episodes/patient-year), with Gram-positive organisms most commonly isolated (44%). Peritonitis occurred frequently in the first 6 months after starting dialysis, with survival analysis showing peritonitis-free survival rates of 72%, 56% and 36% at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years respectively. Age was a weak predictor of peritonitis on univariate analysis, but previous peritonitis was the only significant predictor in a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model (adjusted hazard ratio 2.02; 95% CI: 1.20 to 3.40, p = 0.008). Peritonitis episodes infrequently resulted in relapse (5%), recurrence (7%) or the need for either temporary or permanent haemodialysis (5% and 7% respectively) and there were no patient deaths directly attributable to peritonitis. Compared with single organism peritonitis, polymicrobial peritonitis was not associated with any statistically significant differences in outcome. Further prospective studies are required to determine the most appropriate prophylactic measures and antibiotic regimens for use in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Pediatric peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are at risk for acute peritonitis. One risk factor is accidental exposure of the catheter to a non-sterile surface. We studied catheter exposures in 17 pediatric patients receiving PD who developed 16 holes and 12 other accidental exposures. The rate of exposures was 3.7 events/100 patient-months. After exposure, the mean counts (+ or - standard error) of white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells, and neutrophils were 39.8 + or - 19.3, 9.5 + or - 7.1, and 24.2 + or - 5.3/mm(3), respectively. There was a trend towards higher peritoneal fluid WBC in patients with holes than in those with exposures (60.1 + or - 34.8 vs. 15.4 + or - 5.1/mm(3), respectively; p = 0.2). The initial peritoneal fluid WBC count was significantly higher if there was a positive culture than a negative culture (165.0 + or - 132.6 vs. 20.3 + or - 6.4/mm(3), respectively; p = 0.01). The percentage of neutrophils was higher in patients with a positive culture than in those with a negative culture (54.7 + or - 14.1 vs. 19.1 + or - 4.9%, respectively; p = 0.01). Of the 28 patients, 27 received a single dose of intravenous antibiotics, as per the protocol at that time. Among those treated, 7% developed a positive culture (all staphylococcal species) while 93% had a negative culture. We conclude that following accidental exposure of the peritoneal dialysis catheter: (1) the prevalence of peritonitis is low; (2) measuring peritoneal fluid WBC provides treatment guidance; (3) if treatment is initiated, it should be applied intraperitoneally and include activity against Gram-positive organisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritonitis is a common complication of chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) and can be associated with technique failure. Enterococcus is an uncommon peritoneal pathogen in children receiving CPD but represents a potential therapeutic challenge due to its innate resistance to cephalosporins and emerging resistance to glycopeptides. METHODS The International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry is a global consortium of 47 paediatric dialysis centres designed to address validation of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis paediatric peritonitis treatment guidelines. Between 2001 and 2004, peritonitis episodes were assessed in 392 participating children receiving CPD. RESULTS Among the 392 patients, 340 episodes of culture-positive peritonitis were evaluated. Twenty of these episodes were due to Enterococcus species (5.9%). There were no clinical characteristics uniquely associated with enterococcal peritonitis at presentation. After 3 days of therapy, 75% of patients were pain free, 95% had decreased effluent cloudiness and 90% were afebrile. Only one patient required a catheter exchange, and all patients experienced full functional recovery. Despite broad in vitro resistance to cephalosporins and 21% resistance to glycopeptides, neither in vitro resistance pattern nor choice of empiric antibiotic regimen affected short- or long-term outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Enterococci are likely responsible for ∼6% of culture-positive peritonitis episodes in children receiving CPD. Although it was not possible to identify patients with enterococcal peritonitis based on presentation, clinical response was not associated with in vitro resistance patterns, and patients who initially received a cephalosporin-based empiric regimen until culture results are available are likely to respond quickly and have full functional recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry (IPPR) was established to collect prospective data regarding peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis in children. In this report, we present the IPPR results that pertain to relapsing peritonitis (RP). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This was an online, prospective entry into the IPPR of data that pertain to peritonitis cases by participating centers. RESULTS Of 490 episodes of nonfungal peritonitis, 52 (11%) were followed by a relapse. There was no significant difference between RP and non-RP in distribution of causative organisms and antibiotic sensitivities. Initial empiric therapy-ceftazidime with either first-generation cephalosporin or glycopeptide (vancomycin or teicoplanin)-was not associated with relapse. Switching to monotherapy with a first-generation cephalosporin on the basis of culture results was associated with higher relapse rate (23%) than other final antibiotic therapies (0 to 9%). Culture-negative RP was less likely to have a satisfactory early treatment response than non-RP (82 versus 98%). Young age, single-cuff catheter, downward-pointing exit site, and chronic systemic antibiotic prophylaxis were additional independent risk factors for RP in the multivariate analysis. Compared with non-RP, RP was associated with a lower rate of full functional recovery (73 versus 91%), higher ultrafiltration problems (14 versus 2%), and higher rate of permanent PD discontinuation (17 versus 7%). CONCLUSIONS This is the largest multicenter, prospective study to date to examine RP in children. In addition, this is the first report in the literature to examine specifically the relationship of postempiric antibiotic treatment regimens to the subsequent risk for relapse.

Abstract
Peritonitis remains a frequent complication of peritoneal dialysis in children and is the most common reason for technique failure. The microbiology is characterized by a predominance of Gram-positive organisms, with fungi responsible for less than 5% of episodes. Data collected by the International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry have revealed a worldwide variation in the bacterial etiology of peritonitis, as well as in the rate of culture-negative peritonitis. Risk factors for infection include young age, the absence of prophylactic antibiotics at catheter placement, spiking of dialysis bags, and the presence of a catheter exit-site or tunnel infection. Clinical symptoms at presentation are somewhat organism specific and can be objectively assessed with a Disease Severity Score. Whereas recommendations for empiric antibiotic therapy in children have been published by the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis, epidemiologic data and antibiotic susceptibility data suggest that it may be desirable to take the patient- and center-specific history of microorganisms and their sensitivity patterns into account when prescribing initial therapy. The vast majority of patients are treated successfully and continue peritoneal dialysis, with the poorest outcome noted in patients with peritonitis secondary to Gram-negative organisms or fungi and in those with a relapsing infection.

Abstract
The diagnosis of chyloperitoneum (CP) is based on the presence of high levels of triglycerides (TGs) in the dialysate. It is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and even rarer in neonates. We report here the case of CP in a 1700-g male baby delivered at the 30th gestational week due to posterior urethral valve and associated oligohydramnios. On postnatal day 2, the serum creatinine (Scr) was 1.6 mg/dL, and he was anuric. PD was instituted via a Tenckhoff catheter. At the end of the second week, after the initiation of enteral feeding, the ultrafiltrate became cloudy, with a leukocyte count of 900/mm(3). A treatment regimen consisting of intraperitoneal vancomycin and ceftazidime was then started. Five days later, the fluid became milky, with a TG level of 251 mg/dL. The patient was then placed on a diet based on medium-chain triglycerides and octreotide (1 microg/kg/h; increasing up to 2 microg/kg/h over 15 days). Although the TG and leukocyte levels decreased, the milky appearance persisted. PD was stopped for 2 days when the Scr decreased to 1.7 mg/dL. When it was resumed, the fluid was totally clear, with a TG level of 7 mg/dL. The infant was discharged with a nightly intermittent peritoneal dialysis program and has had no recurrence. In summary, we report a preterm infant who developed CP during PD and recovered following treatment that included diet modification, octreotide, and temporary discontinuation of the PD.

Abstract
Bacterial peritonitis is a major cause of morbidity in pediatric peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and can lead to catheter removal, hospitalizations, peritoneal membrane dysfunction, and sepsis. The goal of this prospective study was to determine whether the incidence of peritonitis had improved over time and what practice patterns influenced peritonitis. Two cohorts of PD patients within the End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Networks 9/10 and who were <21 years old were prospectively followed for 1 year in 1991 and 2002 and included 70 and 82 patients, respectively. A questionnaire was completed for each patient outlining demographic, clinical, and dialysis characteristics. A second questionnaire was completed for each peritonitis episode. The 2002 cohort was younger, included more nonwhites, and had fewer peritonitis episodes. A shift in practice patterns was evident, with more of the 2002 cohort receiving prophylactic antibiotics and omentectomy at catheter insertion and using cycler machines with a parent operator. Peritonitis-free interval was 10.8 months in 1991 and 17.3 months in 2002. The only variable statistically related to the lower rate of peritonitis in 2002 was fewer prior peritonitis events. The results show an improvement in peritonitis-free interval in studied patients on PD, which appears to be related to numerous changes in practice patterns.

Abstract
Cefazolin sodium is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic and has been used worldwide since the early 1970s. It is used for the treatment of bacterial infections in various organs, such as the respiratory tract, skin and skin structure, genital tract, urinary tract, biliary tract, and bone and joint infections. It has also been used for septicemia due to susceptible gram-positive cocci (except Enterococcus), some gram-negative bacilli including E. coli, Proteus, and Klebsiella may be susceptible, and for perioperative prophylaxis. After the introduction of penicillins and other cephalosporins, occasional outbreaks of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were noted. As a result, vancomycin use was increased; however, very recently and most alarmingly, vancomycin-resistant strains have been described. In this setting, to avoid the risk of the development of vancomycin-resistant strains further, vancomycin use should be curtailed. In consideration of this historical background, the appropriate use of antibiotics, such as dosage, dosage intervals, and the duration of administration is required not only for the protection of patients’ health but also for the prevention of the development of drug resistance. Cefazolin has been used in clinical practice for about 40 years, and a large body of evidence has been accumulated, and its efficacy and safety are well established compared with other antibiotics. Therefore, cefazolin has been chosen as a first-line anti-microbial for prophylaxis after various surgical procedures, including cardiovascular surgery, hysterectomy, arthroplasty and so on. Based on these facts, especially for the prophylaxis of surgical site infections, the first-generation cephalosporin, cefazolin, is now being “re-visited”.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent single-arm studies reported good catheter outcome despite shorter break-in periods after peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertions. These results were attributed to tight catheter securing during the insertions. OBJECTIVE To compare catheter-related outcomes after different break-in periods in the tightly secured PD catheters. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study cohort comprised 48 patients, who underwent catheter insertions with the modified insertion technique. Based on the duration of break-in period, the patients were grouped into a shorter break-in period arm, with break-in period of 7 days or less and a standard break-in period arm, with break-in period of about 2 weeks. Mean patient follow up was 9.68 +/- 4.35 months, with a similar follow-up duration between the two break-in period arms (P = 0.94). RESULTS In the study cohort, the incidence of pericatheter leaks, pericatheter haemorrhage, catheter malfunction and peritonitis was 2/48 (4%), 1/48 (2%), 1/48 (2%) and 3/48 (6%), respectively. There was no other-site leak, bowel perforation, hernia formation or wound dehiscence. Of these complications, two pericatheter leaks, one catheter malfunction and three peritonitis episodes followed standard break-in periods, whereas, one pericatheter haemorrhage occurred in the shorter break-in period arm. CONCLUSION After a tight catheter securing during the insertions, overall pericatheter leak incidence remained low in the whole study cohort, and it did not worsen despite a shorter break-in period. Future studies with larger patient numbers are needed to validate the role of shorter break-in period in PD practice.

Abstract
We report the spontaneous development of recurrent chyloperitoneum as a complication of peritoneal dialysis in a toddler. An 18-month-old boy with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis developed spontaneous chyloperitoneum. He was treated conservatively, with a low-fat diet supplemented with medium-chain triglycerides. The chyloperitoneum resolved within 2 days of his being on the low-fat diet, but it recurred after re-institution of regular feeds on four occasions. After 3 months, the chyle leak finally resolved after an extended period of low-fat feeds. Chyloperitoneum is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis that can be confused with signs of peritonitis, and it is important to differentiate between the two so that appropriate management can be undertaken. This paper discusses the possible causes, management and complications of recurrent chyloperitoneum.

Abstract
The International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry (IPPR) was created to assess and evaluate the validity of the pediatric peritonitis treatment guidelines issued by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis. The study by Schaefer et al., one of the first to emerge from the IPPR, describes regional variability in the frequency of culture-negative peritonitis and of Gram-negative infections. This analysis is a crucial step in the development of evidence-based treatment recommendations whereby to improve outcomes for the youngest peritoneal dialysis patients.

Abstract
In children who are on chronic peritoneal dialysis, peritonitis is the primary complication compromising technique survival, and the optimal therapy of peritonitis remains uncertain. An Internet-based International Pediatric Peritonitis Registry was established in 47 pediatric centers from 14 countries to evaluate the efficacy and safety of largely opinion-based peritonitis treatment guidelines in which empiric antibiotic therapy was stratified by disease severity. Among a total of 491 episodes of nonfungal peritonitis entered into the registry, Gram-positive organisms were cultured in 44%, Gram-negative organisms were cultured in 25%, and cultures remained negative in 31% of the episodes. In vitro evaluation revealed 69% sensitivity of Gram-positive organisms to a first-generation cephalosporin and 80% sensitivity of Gram-negative organisms to a third-generation cephalosporin. Neither the risk factors assumed by the guidelines nor the choice of empiric therapy was predictive of either the early treatment response or the final functional outcome of the peritonitis episodes. Overall, 89% of cases achieved full functional recovery, a portion after relapsing peritonitis (9%). These data serve as the basis for new evidence-based guidelines. Modification of empiric therapy to include aminoglycosides should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior experience with the Cook (Cook Inc, Bloomington, IN) Teflon rigid catheter (CTC) showed it to be a suboptimal access for acute peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment in infants and children because of the frequency of catheter-related complications associated with its use. The objective of this study is to report our experience with the bedside-placed flexible Cook Mac-Loc Multipurpose Drainage catheter (CMMDC) for acute PD in critically ill infants, comparing it with the historic Tenckhoff catheter (TC) and CTC use. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS All patients with acute renal failure (ARF) seen in our institution between December 2003 and April 2005 who underwent CMMDC placement for acute PD are included. PREDICTOR CTCs versus CMMDCs versus TCs. OUTCOMES & MEASUREMENTS Catheter-related complications and catheter-free survival. RESULTS 21 infants and children with ARF were treated with acute PD using a CMMDC; 16 patients were post-cardiac surgery and 5 had other diagnoses. Mean patient age was 6.9 +/- 14.4 (SD) months (range, 4 days to 5.2 years; median, 1.6 months). Of 21 catheters, 3 had complications, and in 2 patients, this precluded continuation of PD therapy. In the remaining 18 patients, catheter use continued until recovery from ARF or nonrenal death. All patients achieved target fluid and solute removal with no catheter-related infectious complications. Mean complication-free survival of CMMDCs was 10.5 +/- 7.9 days (range, 2 to 29 days), with the 90% probability of survival at 14 days. Although there was no significant difference between lengths of complication-free survival of CMMDCs and TCs (58 days; P = 0.57), the difference between CMMDCs and CTCs (6 days) was significant (P < 0.001). Likewise, incidences of catheter-related complications with TCs and CMMDCs were similar, and in both cases, significantly less than the incidence associated with CTCs (49%; P < 0.01). LIMITATIONS Small number of patients and comparison with historic experience. CONCLUSIONS Use of CMMDCs is associated with the provision of effective dialysis with a satisfactory complication-free survival and should be considered when bedside placement of an acute PD access in infants and children is desired.

Abstract
Peritonitis and catheter-related (exit-site/tunnel) infections are major causes of morbidity in children receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). Our objective was to evaluate the impact of a combination of prophylactic measures on the rate of peritonitis and catheter-related infections subsequent to their implementation in 2001. This is a single center review of incident patients who received automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) from 1997 to 2004. The causal microorganisms, annualized peritonitis and catheter-related infections rates and the time to infection were reviewed using pooled data from 1997 to 2000 and from 2001 to 2004. Fifty-four patients received PD over 1099 patient months (pm). Twenty-eight peritonitis episodes occurred in 15 patients over 599 pm from 1997 to 2000 (annualized rate (AR): 0.56 infections/patient year). Eight episodes of peritonitis occurred in five patients over 500 pm from 2001 to 2004 (AR: 0.19 infections/patient year) (P = 0.01). Prior to 2001, the median time from dialysis initiation to the first peritonitis episode was 500 days (95% CI, 400-660 days), compared to 1137 days (95% CI, 1050 to +Infinity) from 2001 to 2004 (P = 0.008). The rate of catheter-related infections and time to initial infection during the two periods was not different. We conclude that measures to decrease the frequency of peritonitis can be successfully applied to children and should be incorporated as part of standard care.

Abstract
Fungal peritonitis is a rare but serious complication in children on peritoneal dialysis (PD). In this study, risk factors were evaluated, and therapeutic measures were reviewed. A retrospective, multi-centre study was performed in 159 Dutch paediatric PD patients, between 1980 and 2005 (3,573 months). All peritonitis episodes were reviewed. Fungal peritonitis episodes were evaluated based on possible risk factors and treatment strategy. A total of 321 episodes of peritonitis occurred, with 9 cases of fungal peritonitis (2.9%). Candida peritonitis occurred most frequently (78%). Seven patients (78%) had used antibiotics in the prior month. Fungal peritonitis patients had a higher previous bacterial peritonitis rate compared to the total study population (0.13 versus 0.09 episodes/patient*month), with twice as many gram negative organisms. In all fungal peritonitis patients, the PD catheter was removed. In four patients restart on PD was possible. Fungal peritonitis is a rare complication of PD in children, but is associated with high technique failure. The most important risk factors are a high bacterial peritonitis rate, prior use of antibiotics, and previous bacterial peritonitis with gram negative organisms. The PD catheter should be removed early, but in children, peritoneal lavage with fluconazole before removal may be useful to prevent technique failure.

Abstract
To obtain data on peritonitis and exit-site and/or tunnel infections (ESI/TI) in Japanese children undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) from January 1999 through June 2003, we surveyed 22 members of the Japanese Study Group of Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis (JSPPD) by questionnaire. One hundred and thirty patients were eligible. Seventy episodes of bacterial peritonitis occurred in 45 patients (0.17 episodes/patient-year), and 123 ESI/TI occurred in 60 patients (0.29 episodes/patient-year). S. aureus and MRSA were found to be the causative organisms in 39% and 13% of the peritonitis episodes, and in 59% and 20% of the ESI/TI, respectively. Tunnel infection was found in 55% of the MRSA peritonitis episodes. Eleven percent of the peritonitis episodes relapsed, and 19% needed hemodialysis. One patient died due to MRSA peritonitis. The PD catheter was removed in all fungal and 78% of MRSA peritonitis. However, the type of organism did not influence the need for catheter-related surgery for ESI/TI. Neither peritonitis nor ESI/TI was prevented by the use of a swan-neck catheter, a downward-pointing exit site, povidone iodine exit-site care, bathing instruments, or nasal mupirocin. In conclusion, MRSA peritonitis was not uncommon in children in Japan, was frequently associated with tunnel infections, and had a poor outcome. No association was found between the occurrence of infection and preventive measures previously reported as effective. Alternative approaches are needed in children, especially for MRSA.

Abstract
The need for maintenance dialysis for infants is rare, but peritoneal dialysis has been the modality of choice in cases of end-stage renal failure, for technical reasons. Problems include higher mortality rates and an inferior long-term outcome compared with that in older children. Also, no internationally accepted guidelines exist for dialysis in infants. Many children on maintenance peritoneal dialysis in Finland have congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (NPHS1), and dialysis is started during infancy. In this commentary we discuss our practice of performing peritoneal dialysis in infants and experiences gathered from the literature.

Abstract
Despite advancements in catheter design and dialysis technique, catheter related complications still remain a common clinical problem in paediatric patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD); in particular, infections are a common cause of patient's morbidity and technique failure. In the present paper, data on 89 catheters implanted between January 1986 and December 2002 are reviewed to analyse the major causes of complications and/or PD failure and to ascertain their optimal management. A total of 89 catheters were implanted in 78 patients at the start of chronic PD: 26 in children under 2 years of age, 14 in children aged 2-5 years and 49 in patients over 5 years. Mean age of patients was 76.1 +/- 73.0 months and median treatment time 14.5 +/- 13.1 months. All catheters were surgically implanted and partial omentectomy was performed in 70% of cases. Straight Tenckhoff catheters were used in 70 cases (78%), curled ones in 19 (22%). Sixty-three catheters (71%) had two cuffs, 26 (29%) a single cuff. The entry-site was the midline in 34 patients (38%) and the paramedian line in 55 patients (62%). Catheter survival rate was 80% at 12 months, 62% at 24 months and 58% at 36 and 48 months, respectively. The incidence of catheter-related complications was one episode every 6.4 PD-months, and they were mainly represented by peritonitis (61%), exit-site infections and tunnel infection (ESI + TI: 23%), catheter obstruction (5%), dislocation (3.5%), leakage (2.5%). After the introduction of curled single-cuff catheters, a considerable reduction in the peritonitis incidence was observed during the last 7 years. A more prolonged catheter survival was observed in older children (>5 vs. <2 years: P < 0.05). Leakage was less common in catheters with paramedian entry-site compared with catheters implanted on the midline. In 7 out of 11 (64%) patients with catheter obstruction, omentectomy had not been performed. Single-cuff catheters had a lower infection-rate than double-cuff catheter (P < 0.01). Single cuff-curled Tenckhoff catheter can be considered the first choice catheter. Single cuff-catheters are not associated with an increase of infections. The surgical technique requires a strict adherence to a standardized procedure and a dedicated team, in order to obtain a reduction of the complications, a prolonged catheter duration and a better quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritonitis is the single most common complication in children maintained on continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) and a significant cause of morbidity. Recent consensus guidelines for the treatment of peritonitis in children receiving peritoneal dialysis recommend the combined intraperitoneal administration of ceftazidime with either a first-generation cephalosporin or vancomycin. The objective of this study is to determine whether a continuous maintenance dose of intraperitoneal ceftazidime in the absence of a loading dose would maintain adequate serum and dialysate concentrations to be effective in the treatment of peritonitis. METHODS Five ambulatory patients on CCPD therapy were studied with continuous intraperitoneal administration of ceftazidime (125 mg/L). Blood, dialysate, and urine samples were collected at specified intervals during a 24-hour period. Ceftazidime concentrations were measured by using a high-performance liquid chromatography assay. RESULTS Mean serum concentrations at completion of the short rapid cycles and at 24 hours were 28.92 +/- 13.64 and 23.92 +/- 11.93 microg/mL, respectively. Serum bioavailability at 24 hours was 74% +/- 6%. Mean dialysate concentrations at completion of the short rapid cycles and at 24 hours were 87.43 +/- 19.18 and 32.06 +/- 6.27 microg/mL, respectively. All 5 patients achieved serum and dialysate ceftazidime concentrations greater than the mean inhibitory concentration within 4 hours. CONCLUSION In adolescent patients on CCPD therapy, a continuous maintenance dose of intraperitoneal ceftazidime in the absence of a loading dose achieves serum and dialysate levels greater than the mean inhibitory concentration of sensitive organisms within 4 hours that persist for 24 hours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In an effort to detect the presence of leukocytes in the peritoneal dialysate fluid (PDF) a urine dipstick may be practical for the early detection of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. METHODS The study was performed in 44 samples of four children with peritonitis. The total counts of white blood cell (WBC) and polimorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) were found using both a hemocytometer (CELDYN 3700 R) and a microscopic method. The existence of leukocytes was investigated by urine dipstick tests. RESULTS The dipstick test was correlated with both hemocytometer and microscopic methods (r = 0.537, P = 0.001; r = 0.560, P = 0.0001, respectively). Our results revealed no false negative values in all strip categories. At the proposed cut-off point (> 100/mm3 of WBC count), a 3+ reading on the strip test reached a sensitivity of 100% for the detection of peritonitis with a specificity of 100%. A 2+ reading reached a sensitivity of 100% with lower specificity (71.4%) at the same cut-off point. The dipstick test correlated significantly with the total counts of PMNs (r = 0.80, P = 0.0001). All positive strip categories had more than 50% of PMNs with a low PMN percentage of negative strip category in PDF samples. CONCLUSION It is proposed that the strip test might be a valuable test to diagnose bacterial peritonitis through the detection of both WBC and PMN in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections of peritoneal dialysis catheter exit sites have rarely been reported in patients on peritoneal dialysis. We report here a case of Mycobacterium abscessus exit site infection with abdominal wall abscess formation in an adolescent on peritoneal dialysis, which required long-term antibiotic therapy, peritoneal dialysis catheter removal, and surgical debridement of the abscess. Nontuberculous mycobacteria should be considered as a possible causative organism for an exit site infection that fails to respond to usual antibiotic therapy. Nontuberculous mycobacterial exit site infections may require peritoneal dialysis catheter removal and surgical debridement.
