Overview

Literature review highlights infectious complications in dialysis patients, suggesting effective prevention measures.

Key Points

  • Catheter-associated bloodstream infections are the most frequent complication in dialysis patients, often varying in incidence across countries.
  • The challenge of calculating frequency arises from using different denominators, affecting the comparability of infection data.
  • Gram-positive microorganisms are the usual pathogens involved in healthcare associated infections among dialysis patients.
  • Prophylactic measures include recommendations for preventing catheter-related infections and effective sanitation methods.
