Per Se

Peritonitis is an important complication of CAPD. Because uremia is believed to impair immunity, we sought to determine whether uremia per se predisposes patients on CAPD to peritoneal infection. Using an animal model of CAPD, we have evaluated the effect of severe uremia on host resistance to peritonitis. Intraperitoneal catheters were implanted in severely uremic and sham-operated non-uremic rats, which were then dialysed four times a day for two days. Alternatively, they were infused with dialysis fluid twice daily for eight days without drainage of the dialysate. Peritonitis was induced by direct inoculation of Escherichia coli; the bacteria in the peritoneal cavity and spleen were counted 24 hours after this challenge. Uremia did not impair resistance to experimentally induced peritonitis in either the dialysed or infused host. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is becoming increasingly popular as a method for longteffil treatment of chronic renal failure. The major disadvantage is the risk of infection and peritonitis remains the single most important complication and reason for transfer of patients to another mode of therapy. Uremia is believed to impair immunity and predispose patients to infection (1, 2). Hence the question arises: Are patients on CAPD predisposed to peritoneal infection by the uremia itself? We developed a model of chronic uremia in rats, which made possible studies uncomplicated by many variabies associated with the clinical management of uremic patients. This paper examines the contribution of uremia to the susceptibility of the dialysed host to peritonitis. In the rats, we found it difficult to maintain dialysis for longer than two days because of rapid blockage of catheters by fibrin and connective tissue. As a consequence, we employed two models: one carried out peritoneal dialysis for two days, and the other involved infusions of dialysate without drainage for a longer period. Uremic and sham-operated animals, either dialysed or infused without drainage, were compared with noffilal controls with respect to their ability to withstand an intraperitoneal challenge with viable Escherichia cali.

A case of fungal penetration (AspergIllus fumigatus) of a Tenckhoff catheter in a 68-year-old female treated for five years with peritoneal dialysis is reported. Though histopathological and microbiological examination of the removed catheter revealed disseminated colonization, the patient presented no clinical signs of peritoneal infection, cultures of peritoneal fluid were negative, and dialysis procedures were without problems.

AbstractWe report the case of a 33 year-old woman who complained of severe dysmenorrhea since menarche. From 2003 to 2009, she underwent 4 laparoscopies for the treatment of pain associated with endometriosis. After all four interventions, the pain recurred despite the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues and the insertion of a levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS). Finally, a colonoscopy performed in 2010 revealed rectosigmoid stenosis probably due to extrinsic compression. The patient was advised to get pregnant before treating the intestinal lesion. Spontaneous pregnancy occurred soon after LNG-IUS removal in 2011. In the 33rd week of pregnancy, the patient started to feel severe abdominal pain. No fever or sings of pelviperitonitis were present, but as the pain worsened, a cesarean section was performed, with the delivery of a premature healthy male, and an intestinal rupture was identified. Severe peritoneal infection and sepsis ensued. A colostomy was performed, and the patient recovered after eight days in intensive care. Three months later, the colostomy was closed, and a new LNG-IUS was inserted. The patient then came to be treated by our multidisciplinary endometriosis team. The diagnostic evaluation revealed the presence of intestinal lesions with extrinsic compression of the rectum. She then underwent a laparoscopic excision of the endometriotic lesions, including an ovarian endometrioma, adhesiolysis and segmental colectomy in 2014. She is now fully recovered and planning a new pregnancy. A transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) performed six months after surgery showed signs of pelvic adhesions, but no endometriotic lesions.

Peritoneal Dialysis Effluent

Peritonitis following urticaria on two occasions in a 46-year-old white female treated with CAPD for nine years is reported. On both occasions an episode of urticaria and pruritis occurred 24 hr before the dialysate became cloudy, and the patient experienced abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The culture of the peritoneal dialysis effluent grew gamma Streptococcus with the first episode. To our knowledge this is the first report of CAPD peritonitis preceded by urticaria where the skin findings were most likely related to the peritoneal infection.
