Mechanical complications of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: Experience at the Ibn Sina University Hospital

Abstract: Peritoneal dialysis is a new renal replacement therapy recently introduced in Morocco since 2006. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis has proven to be as effective as hemodialysis. However, it is associated with several complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of complications in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis at our center. The nature of non-infectious complications was noted during follow-up in these patients. Fiftyseven complications were noted among 34 patients betw… Show more

“…It was similar to the rates reported in the literature (20.7%-42.6%) [14,19,21]. The prevalence of mechanical complications in our series was lower compared with the different series published in the literature (21.5% vs. 31.2%-36.8%) [4,8].…”

“…The mean dialysis duration in our patients was longer than other studies (51.6 vs. 27.7-33 months) [8,18]. Compared with other studies, our patients had similar rates of diabetes (24.2%-48.4% vs 30.2%) [4,18,19]. PD offers an alternative treatment option in refractory heart failure and reduces the incidence of decompensation attacks [20].…”

“…Miftah et al [5] found a slightly lower prevalence at 6.5% after a long average delay (25.6 months). Flayou et al [7] and Raina et al in India [11] found a much lower prevalence of 3.4% and 2.47%, respectively. This difference in prevalence could be explained by the fact that some of the teams put the catheter in pockets that the patient carried regularly, which made it possible to protect the catheter.…”

“…The prevalence of hernia in our study was 5.3%, with a predominance of umbilical localization in 75% of cases. Miftah et al [5], Flayou et al [7], Villemain et Open Journal of Nephrology al. in France [9] and Huraib et al [8] found a higher prevalence at 21.7%, 12.2%, 11.8% and 10%, respectively.…”
