Correlation of Periscreen Strip Results and White Cell Count in Peritoneal Dialysis Peritonitis

Abstract: PeriScreen strip analysis correlated with microscopic WCC of PD. However, analysis of PD effluent on day 5 of treatment is not a good test to risk stratify patients for relapsing peritonitis.

“…A recent study suggested that bacterial DNA fragment levels in PD effluent are significantly higher 5 days before and on the date of completion of antibiotics amongst patients who subsequently develop relapsing or recurrent peritonitis ( 349 ). Another study suggests that effluent white cell count and leukocyte strip test at the time of stopping antibiotics may also predict relapse ( 350 ). However, further studies are needed to validate these results and confirm their clinical utility.…”

“…12 Our observation of higher sensitivity compared with device specificity is typical of leukocyte esterase tests. 19 Furthermore, our positive output can improve the diagnosis of infected wounds for 9-16%. Since there is no device that can diagnose wound infection at point of care, infected wounds may be validated in a future study for helping the wound care specialists to pay special attentions to the areas with elevated esterase when the treatments will be applied.…”
