Sterile Peritonitis Associated with Amino Acid-Containing Dialysate--a Single Center Experience in Norway.

摘要

Cloudy dialysate in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patientsis notalways caused byinfection. The differential diagnosis of sterile peritonitis in PD patients has been extensively described (1). Peritonitis associated with icodextrin has been described (1,2). We have not encountered any cases of icodextrin-associated sterile peritonitis in our unit. In up to 20% of all peritonitis episodes, no causative organism is identified (1).
