Overview

This review highlights exit site infections and their impact on peritoneal dialysis outcomes, suggesting that proper care may reduce catheter-related infections.

Key Points

  • Catheter related infections increase the risk of catheter loss in peritoneal dialysis patients, necessitating effective management.
  • Infectious complications are the leading cause of patients transitioning from peritoneal to hemodialysis due to technique failure.
  • Implementing hand hygiene procedures as recommended by WHO can significantly decrease the risk of infectious complications.
  • Early identification and treatment of exit site infections are crucial for maintaining catheter effectiveness and patient safety.
