CAPD-associated peritonitis - Generics

CAPD-associated peritonitis (CAPD stands for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) is a type of peritoneal dialysis-related infection that occurs in people who undergo peritoneal dialysis to treat end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Peritoneal dialysis is a type of dialysis in which a solution is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a catheter, and the waste products from the blood are removed through the peritoneal membrane. CAPD-associated peritonitis occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms contaminate the dialysate solution and cause an infection in the peritoneal cavity.

The symptoms of CAPD-associated peritonitis include abdominal pain and tenderness, cloudy dialysate, fever, and chills. The diagnosis is made by analyzing the dialysate fluid for the presence of white blood cells and microorganisms.

Treatment of CAPD-associated peritonitis involves antibiotic therapy, which is usually administered directly into the peritoneal cavity. The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the infection and the response to treatment, but typically lasts for several weeks. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary.

Prevention of CAPD-associated peritonitis involves maintaining good hygiene, properly caring for the peritoneal dialysis catheter, and following the recommended dialysis regimen. It is important to report any signs or symptoms of infection to a healthcare provider promptly to prevent complications.
