The authors describe their experiences with a new type of peritoneal catheter in 45 patients with end-stage renal disease treated with intermittent (IPD) or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) over 18 months. This new catheter consists of an abdominal part, similar in diameter to the Tenckhoff catheter but with larger holes; this part is enveloped in a silastic balloon with many holes. An important advantage of the new catheter is an outflow rate that is much higher than the Tenckhoff catheter. The incidence of malfunction was considerably reduced an d in addition, there were no cases of catheter failure due to blood or fibrin clots or wrapping by omentum.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare straight type versus coiled type Tenckhoff catheter for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in end stage renal disease. Material & method: A prospective cohort study enrolled end-stage renal disease patients undergoing CAPD for renal replacement therapy in Urology and Nephrology Department, Sardjito Hospital from January to December 2007. Identity and type of Tenckhoff catheter were recorded. Patients were grouped into two groups who used straight type catheter and coiled type catheter for CAPD, then observed for post-operative complication. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 14.0 with chi-square test. Results: There were 27 patients included in this study. The cause of end-stage renal disease was mostly DM and hypertension. The most common complication after  operation  was catheter  obstruction  (9 patients). Another complication was intraabdominal bleeding (1 patient), and catheter migration (1 patient). In patients with straight catheter (20 patients), there were 8 patients (40%) with complication. In patients with coiled catheter (7 patients), there were 3 patients (42%) with complication. There was no significant difference in complications between straight and coiled catheter groups (p = 0,895). Conclusion: The result of this study revealed that no significant difference in complication between straight and coiled catheter for CAPD in end-stage renal disease patients

Gallbladder Removal

In patients with end-stage renal disease who are candidates for peritoneal dialysis (PD) and have gallstones or gallbladder polyps, it is advised to perform synchronous insertion of PD catheter and cholecystectomy. With gallbladder removal at the time of peritoneal catheter insertion we can avoid infective complications, such as acute cholecystitis and possible PD failure. This article presents our experience with synchronous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and insertion of a PD catheter.

Reversible Encephalopathy

ABSTRACTWe report a patient with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis, who developed encephalopathy after receiving a few doses of cefepime. He recovered clinically and electroencephalographically after having discontinued the culprit agent and undergone hemodialysis. This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this reversible encephalopathy, which can lead to the avoidance of unnecessary workup, reduce the length of hospital stay, and thereby improve the patients’ outcome.
