Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis (PDAP) is a common and severe complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT), with an incidence reported at 30% in some literature. Despite being aware of this complication for 35 years and the adoption of several preventive measures, such as adequate training of medical staff in catheter handling, prophylactic antibiotic therapy, application of topical antibiotics, and early management of infections at catheter insertion site, we still encounter episodes of PDAP.
