Uremia in general and peritoneal dialysis in particular bring with them risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. These factors include multiple lipid abnormalities, hyperhomocysteinemia, abdominal obesity, chronic inflammation, hypoalbuminemia, oxidative stress, and AGE formation. When these are combined with conventional risk factors, one can appreciate why the incidence of cardiovascular disease is so high in peritoneal dialysis patients. Treatment strategies should address each of these risks appropriately.

Peritonitis is one of the most common complications of the population with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis. The most frequent etiological agents are bacteria and fungi, the latter being responsible for 2 to 5% of the total cases of this type of infection. Fungal peritonitis is severe and its occurrence requires immediate removal of the catheter and transfer of renal replacement therapy for hemodialysis. The present study aimed to retrospectively study the risk factors and clinical outcomes of patients at the Centro Integrado de Nefrologia (CIN) of the Hospital das Clínicas da UNICAMP, who presented bacterial or fungal peritonitis, comparing them to peritoneal dialysis patients who did not present peritonitis.
