The pharmacokinetics of Aztreonam (AZT) administered i.p. in six stable patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were studied. One gram of AZT was added into a 2 L bag of dialysate (Medital-Bieffe®) just prior to infusion into the peritoneal cavity. The dwell time was 8 h. The serum maximum concentration of AZT was 42.5 ± 12.4 mg/L (x ± SD), achieved in 4.6 ± 1.0 h. The elimination half-life was 2.4 ± 0.8 h, almost equal to that found in normal subjects (1.7–2 h). The pharmacokinetic parameters of elimination, as elimination rate constant and clearance of AZT from peritoneal cavity were found 0.305 ± 0.101 h-1 and 10.05 ± 3.7 mL/min, respectively, while the bioavailability via the peritoneal mem brane was 90.8 ± 3.05% of administered dose. It is concluded that AZT is eliminated from dialysate at a high rate after i.p. administration and its dialysate and serum levels exceed the MIC for the majority of sensitive organisms including Pseudomonas species. Aztreonam appears to be a potentially useful antibiotic for CAPD peritonitis.

In peritoneal dialysis (PD), the peritoneum serves as a biological dialyzing membrane. The endothelium of the vast capillary network perfusing the peritoneum functions as a semipermeable membrane and allows bidirectional solute and water transfer between the intravascular space and dialysate fluid dwelling in the peritoneal cavity. PD is a renal replacement strategy for patients presenting with end-stage renal disease. It can also be offered for ultrafiltration in patients with diuretic-resistant fluid overload even in those without advanced renal failure. PD can also be used for patients with acute kidney injury, although in the developed world this occurs rarely compared to the use of extracorporeal therapies. This review contains 9 videos,  8 figures, 4 tables, and 73 references.  Keywords: peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal cavity, catheter, dialysis fluid, ultrafiltration, tunnel infection, osmotic pressure, renal failure

This paper has reviewed experience in Belgium with 99 patients on CAPD. They represent 6-7% of all dialysis patients in this country. The principle reasons for selecting CAPD were old age, problems with vascular access and major cardiovas cular complications. Hemoglobin and hematrocrit values increased in all patients but preliminary measurements of red cell volume in some of them showed no change. Most patients showed moderate increases in serum triglycerides. In three non-diabetic patients with marked elevation in triglyceride levels, insulin, given intraperitoneally, prevented further increases. The frequency of peritonitis was still high; the average rate was one episode every 7.6 patient months. Other major complications included hypotension, which improved after the substitution of dialysate with a higher sodium concentration, severe respiratory disease and gangrene of the legs. After a mean follow-up of seven months, the death rate was 18% and the rate of technical success was 70%. The fact that most of our patients were in the high-risk category should be kept in mind when comparing these results with those obtained with other modes of treatment. At the end of 1978, a total of 1195 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were treated on either home or hospital dialysis in Belgium. There were 50 dialysis centers for a total population of 9.8 million. Of these 1195 patients, only seven were treated with either continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (2-4) or intermittent peritoneal dialysis. Since then and until July 1, 1980 the number of patients treated with CAPD in Belgium has increased to 99 and this paper describes our experience with these patients.

Abstract The ability to visualize intraluminal surface of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter and peritoneal cavity could allow elucidation of the cases of outflow problems, and provide information on changes to the peritoneal membrane leading to encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. A non-invasive examination that allows those monitoring in need is desirable. We have developed a disposable ultra-fine endoscope that can be inserted into the lumen of the existing PD catheter, allowing observation of the luminal side of the catheter and peritoneal cavity from the tip of the PD catheter, with minimum invasion in practice. In a pre-clinical study in pigs and a clinical study in 10 PD patients, the device provided detailed images, enabling safe, easy observation of the intraluminal side of the entire catheter, and of the morphology and status of the peritoneal surface in the abdominal cavity under dwelling PD solution. Since this device can be used repeatedly during PD therapy, clinical application of this device could contribute to improved management of clinical issues in current PD therapy, positioning PD as a safer, more reliable treatment modality for end-stage renal disease.

Objective To investigate the pharmacokinetic parameters of intermittent intraperitoneal (IP) cefazolin, and recommend a cefazolin dosing regimen in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Design Prospective nonrandomized open study. Setting CAPD outpatient clinic in Albany, New York. Patients Seven volunteer CAPD patients without peritonitis. Three of the patients were nonanuric while 4 were anuric. Interventions Cefazolin (15 mg/kg total body weight) was given to each patient during the first peritoneal exchange. Blood and dialysate samples were collected at times 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6 (end of the first antibiotic-containing dwell), 24, and 48 hours after the administration of IP cefazolin. Urine samples were collected in nonanuric patients over the study period. Results The mean ± SD amount of cefazolin dose absorbed from the dialysate after the 6-hour dwell was 69.7% ± 8.0% of the administered dose. The cefazolin absorption rate constant from dialysate to serum was 0.21 ± 0.1 /hr (absorption half-life 3.5 ± 0.8 hr). The mean serum concentrations reached at 24 and 48 hours were 52.4 ± 3.7 mg/L and 30.3 ± 5.9 mg/L, respectively. The mean dialysate cefazolin concentrations reached at 24 and 48 hours were 15.1 ± 3.4 mg/L and 7.9 ± 1.4 mg/L, respectively. The cefazolin serum elimination rate constant was 0.02 ± 0.01 /hr (elimination half-life 31.5 ± 8.8 hr). The total cefazolin body clearance was 3.4 ± 0.6 mL/min. In the 3 nonanuric patients the mean renal clearance of cefazolin was 0.6 ± 0.4 mL/min. The peritoneal clearance of cefazolin was 1.0 ± 0.3 mL/min. The systemic volume of distribution of cefazolin was 0.2 ± 0.05 L/kg. No statistical difference was detected in pharmacokinetic parameters between anuric and nonanuric patients, although this may be due to the small number of patients in each group. Conclusion A single daily dose of cefazolin dosed at 15 mg/kg actual body weight in CAPD patients is effective in achieving serum concentration levels greater than the minimum inhibitory concentration for sensitive organisms over 48 hours, and dialysate concentration levels over 24 hours. Caution is warranted in extrapolation of dosing recommendations to patients who maintain a significant degree of residual renal function.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) on plasma and peritoneal fluid concentration and pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin after administration of one 400 mg dose orally to end-stage renal failure patients undergoing CAPD. Patients and Methods Blood and peritoneal samples were collected from 8 patients at standard time intervals and concentrations of moxifloxacin were estimated by HPLC analysis with fluorometric and ultraviolet detection. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using standard noncompartmental methods. Results Median maximum plasma moxifloxacin concentration was 5.86 mg/L at a median time of 1.25 hours. In serum, median area under the concentration–time curve (AUC0→inf) was 157.95 ± 100.34 mg·hour/L, median t½ 25.00 hours, median clearance 2.54 L/hour, and median distribution volume 94.90 L. Median peritoneal fluid-to-plasma ratio of moxifloxacin ranged between 0.84 and 1.00, denoting adequate penetration and lack of considerable moxifloxacin removal during CAPD. Maximum moxifloxacin concentration/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and AUC0→24/MIC ratios were above the cutoff points that indicate clinical success. Conclusion A single 400 mg oral dose of moxifloxacin is safe, presents rapid peritoneal fluid penetration, has similar plasma and peritoneal fluid pharmacokinetics, and should therefore be efficacious in the treatment of CAPD-induced peritonitis.

End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a serious chronic disease that resulted from complications of chronic renal failure and a final diagnosis that requires treatment modalities such as dialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). However, CAPD is rarely selected as renal replacement therapy by ESRD patients in Indonesia. Therefore, the phenomenon associated with patients undergoing CAPD is unclear, especially in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of ESRD patients undergoing CAPD therapy. The research method employed qualitative descriptive phenomenology. The participants in this study were 10 ESRD patients with CAPD. Data collection utilized semi-structured interviewed and data was analyzed using the Colaizzi approach. The result of the study was explained through 6 themes. These are: 1) Condition improved with CAPD, 2) Freedom of activity, 3) Between feeling better and bored 4) Health is increased, 5) It is sustained life, 6) Resignation to accept illness. In conclusion, the patients with CAPD felt  significant positive changes in their life and CAPD is considered life-sustaining for the participants, as the majority of the symptoms was decreased significantly. Therefore, the partisipants felt their conditions improved better. The unpleasant sides of CAPD are feeling bored. The support  of the family  is important as it  produced strength and passion for patients in undergoing CAPD.
