Abstract

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is now a standard therapeutic modality of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (1). About 80% of ESRD patients in Hong Kong are treated by CAPD. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) related infections, notably peritonitis, are major complications leading to patient morbidity, mortality and technique failure. In this issue, we have two papers addressing these problems (2,3).
