Successful Peritoneal Dialysis in an Extremely Preterm Infant

Abstract: Peritoneal dialysis can be considered renal supportive therapy, even in an extremely low birth weight infant with acute kidney injury not responding to general supportive measures. Although there have been several reports of successful peritoneal dialysis in extremely low birth weight infants, general practice guidelines and commercially available optimal peritoneal dialysis catheters have not been introduced. We report a successful case of peritoneal dialysis in an extremely low birth weight infant born at 25… Show more

“…Other alternatives are feeding tubes, suction catheters, neonatal chest drains, and Foley catheters [26][27][28]. In our study, although PD catheters were inserted to 8 of the 12 patients, IV catheters (e.g., ARROW ® CVC and venous umbilical catheter) were inserted initially in another four patients owing to their low body weight.…”

“…The severe complication of PD was peritonitis, and only one patient developed such in this study. The use of prophylactic antibiotics should be carefully considered with advantages of infection prevention and disadvantages of antibiotic-resistant bacterial generation [25,28]. The efficacy of PD in ELBW infants is affected by many factors.…”

“…Conversely, temporary PD catheters are generally inserted along with IV catheters or commercially available peritoneal catheters [22]. Other alternatives are feeding tubes, suction catheters, neonatal chest drains, and Foley catheters [29][30][31]. In our study, although PD catheters were inserted to 8 of the 12 patients, IV catheters (e.g., ARROW ® CVC and venous umbilical catheter) were inserted initially in another four patients owing to their low body weight.…”

“…Therefore, selection of an optimal catheter for PD is very important to minimize the complications associated with PD access. For peritonitis, the use of prophylactic antibiotics should be carefully considered with advantages of infection prevention and disadvantages of antibiotic-resistant bacterial generation [28,31]. The e cacy of PD in ELBW infants is affected by many factors.…”
