DOI: 10.1111/sdi.13094
Abstract: In case of intractable exit site and/or tunnel infections, peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter removal and re‐insertion are recommended. Previous studies have reported the possibility of catheter salvage before removal, but they were either case‐series or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/08968608221101708
Abstract: The function of a peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter is crucial for performing high-quality PD. Malfunctioning PD catheter can cause by many aetiologies, including catheter malposition/migration and intraluminal/extraluminal obstructions. 1 Accidental insertion into the urinary bladder… read more here.
