Key Points

To explore the rate of infectious and non-infectious complications in renal transplant recipients and their commitment to peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Conducted a cross-sectional study at a single center in Thailand.
Analyzed rates of infectious and non-infectious complications.
Examined patient responses to complications, particularly fear and disappointment.
Complication rates in PD patients were consistent with literature reports.
Higher rates of transfer to hemodialysis observed due to patient fears.
Need for improved education about PD highlighted based on findings.

Abstract

Table 1.Infectious complications Table 2. Non-infectious complications Conclusion:The rate of infectious and non-infectious complication in our PD patients, and the rate of culture-negative peritonitis, are similar to what is reported in the literature.However, rate of transfer to hemodialysis is higher than expected for some non-infectious complications because of patients fear and/or disappointment.This suggests that proper education about PD and it's complications and thorough examination of the patient prior to catheter insertion are essential to ensure patients remain committed to PD following the occurrence of complications.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
