RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of imipenem-cilastin sodium as subsequent therapy on peritoneal dialysis(PD)-related peritonitis.Methods From January 2007 to December 2010,44 PD-related peritonitis patients in our hospital were enrolled in the study.These patients presented cloudy fluid after 3 days initial treatment,and bacterial culture was Gram-negative bacteria or negative.Thirteen peritonitis episodes were treated with ceftazidime,while 36 episodes with imipenem-cilastin sodium.Efficacy,outcome,pathogen and drug-resistance were analyzed retrospectively.Results The effective rates 2 d later of ceftazidime and imipenem-cilastin sodium were 23.1％ and 72.2％ respectively with significant difference (P＜0.05).Gram-negative bacteria of ceftazidime and imipenem-cilastin sodium groups were 69.4％ and 65.2％ respectively without significant difference (P＞0.05).The cure rates 3 weeks later of ceftazidime and imipenemcilastin sodium groups were 23.1％ and 72.2％ respectively with significant difference (P＜0.05).Conclusion As subsequent therapy for PD-related peritonitis,imipenem-cilastin sodium can improve the cure rate.
RESUMEN
To investigate association between prognosis of patients of peritoneal dialysis with their initial high peritoneal solute transport and complications. Two hundred and two patients with end-stage renal disease who began peritoneal dialysis during September 1,2006 to September 1, 2008 at Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing were recruited in the study. They were undergone peritoneal equilibration test within six weeks after initiating peritoneal dialysis, and their types of peritoneal solute transport, complications,nutrition status and outcomes were all recorded until August 31,2010. Their survival rate was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Compare to those with other types of solute transport, patients with high peritoneal solute transport showed higher proportion of complications ( P < 0. 05 ) during dialysis, but less ultrafiltration function ( P < 0. 05 ), worse nutrition status ( P < 0. 05 ) and lower cumulative survival rate ( P < 0. 01 ).Among patients with high peritoneal solute transport, cumulative survival rate in those with complication was lower than those without it ( P = 0. 031 ). Prognosis of patients with high peritoneal solute transport possibly varies with their complications in dialysis.
