During the last 3 years 3,964 short daily peritoneal dialyses (71.4% at home) have been performed in 18 patients aged between 8 and 82 years. 6–10 liters of dialysate have been associated with high caloric-low protein (0.6 g/kg) diets. In 330 predialysis determinations serum urea was 1.30 ± 0.09 g/l and serum creatinine was 13.9 ± 1.9 mg/dl. The incidence of peritonitis was 0.18%. The control of anemia, plasma levels of proteins, albumins, transferrin, C-3c and C-4 were satisfactory. The data support the concept of a wider application of this dialysis technique, which may be extended to every uremic patient.

“…Abscess formation is an infrequent complication of intra-abdominal sepsis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis[1-3, [9][10][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][29][30][31]. Altemeier [58] and, later, Onderdonk [59,60] demonstrated that intra-abdominal abscess formation appeared to be related to a synergy between anaerobes and facultative bacteria, in which anaerobes are the dominant isolate.…”

“…4 A subsequent report from Germany of 65 patients receiving 2,146 PD treatments confirmed the effectiveness of this catheter, though peritonitis continued to be a problem. 5 An obituary of Dr Tenckhoff outlines the testing he performed of variations to the catheter to arrive at the peritoneal catheter that we still use today in some form. 6 Fifty years later, we have yet to find a better PD catheter despite many other advances in the field.…”
