¤ Background: Peritonitis is the leading cause of tech-nique failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Some patients experience recurrent ascites, encapsulating peri-toneal sclerosis (EPS), and even death after catheter re-moval. Little is known, however, about the risk factors for such complications. ¤ Methods: The study subjects were 117 patients that had their PD catheter removed due to peritonitis between Janu-ary 2000 and June 2006. Biochemical and clinical data were reviewed retrospectively. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood and effluent white blood cell counts (WBC) were measured at baseline and at 72 hours of peritonitis. Based on adverse outcomes, patients were classified into 4 groups: non-complication (NC; n = 73), rec...
