Peritonitis-induced peritoneal injury models for research in peritoneal dialysis review of infectious and non-infectious models

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2017
Peritonitis is an important complication of peritoneal dialysis. Several animal peritonitis models have been described, including bacterial and fungal models that are useful for studying inflammation in peritonitis. However, these models have limitations

Feline infectious peritonitis: role of the feline coronavirus 3c gene in intestinal tropism and pathogenicity based upon isolates from resident and adopted shelter cats. [PDF]

, 2012
Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) was presumed to arise from mutations in the 3c of a ubiquitous and largely nonpathogenic feline enteric coronavirus (FECV).

Evaluation of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis fluid C-reactive protein in patients with peritonitis

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2016
Severe peritonitis causing death is one of the most devastating complications of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Since the predictive value of C-reactive protein (CRP) in PD fluid has not been assessed, the objective of the present study is to evaluate its ...

Peritoneal Fluid Titer Test for Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2004
ABSTRACT Standard microbiological tests (i.e., MIC) do not account for the unique factors of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis which can significantly influence treatment response. Our goals were to develop a peritoneal fluid titer (PFT) test and to conduct a pilot study of its association with clinical outcome.

Requirement of endogenous tumor necrosis factor/cachectin for recovery from experimental peritonitis [PDF]

, 1990
By intrasplenic immunization we raised a rat mAb (mAb V1q; IgG2a, kappa) with a potent neutralizing activity against natural mouse TNF (1 microgram/ml mAb V1q/100 U/ml TNF). mAb V1q was used to study the role of endogenous TNF in experimental peritonitis

The nucleoside analog GS-441524 strongly inhibits feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) virus in tissue culture and experimental cat infection studies. [PDF]

, 2018
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a common and highly lethal coronavirus disease of domestic cats. Recent studies of diseases caused by several RNA viruses in people and other species indicate that antiviral therapy may be effective against FIP in ...

[Tuberculous peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis].

Nefrologia : publicacion oficial de la Sociedad Espanola Nefrologia, 2009
We report a patient in Automatic Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) with tuberculous peritonitis by possible peritoneal infection due to the proximity between fallopian tube and the left ovary, a peritoneal liquid culture was constantly negative. The patient presented a bad clinic evolution.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Viridans streptococcus peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: clinical characteristics and comparison with concurrent polymicrobial infection

BMC Nephrology, 2018
Background The clinical course of Viridans streptococci (VS) peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) is rarely reported. This study examined the association of clinical factors with VS peritonitis.

An Unusual Cause of Peritonitis in a Peritoneal Dialysis Patient: Leifsonia aquatica

Turkish Journal of Nephrology, 2021
Peritonitis continues to be an important cause of catheter losses in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Although the causes of peritonitis are predominantly Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and Fungi also appear as causative agents ...
