Abstract
1) Peritonitis was the commonest complication. And the incidence was 1.35 episodes/patient/year. Catheter exit site infection, catheter lumen obstruction and cath- eter malposition were major mechanical complications in order of numbers. Transient hypotension developed in 10.3% of patients. 2) Gram stains of peritoneal dialysates were positive in 12.8% of samples. The positive culture rate of efflu- ents was 52.4%, of which 30% was gram positive cocci, 48% gram negative bacilli, and 22% fungi. 3) Catheter was removed in 31.2% of all patients. The commonest cause for the catheter removal was per- itonits, which accounted for 58.6%. Among 9 cases of death, 3 patients died from non-treatment due to finan- cial difficulties. 4) The incidence of peritonitis and other postoper- ative complications were stabilized at 9 months from the beginning of this study. Patient survival and techni- que success rate at the end of first year were 86% and 71.2% respectively.
