Abstract

Among infectious complications of peritoneal dialysis including exit site infection, tunnel infection and peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis, the last one remains the most common and the most serious. Starting from 1983, the recommendations of International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) on infectious complications are constantly updated. The latest update on peritonitis prevention and treatment was published in 2016. The article presents some of the issues with special attention paid to new recommendations.
