Diagnostic Criteria for PD-Associated Peritonitis

Standard Diagnostic Criteria

• All diagnostic testing must be performed when the patient is clinically stable and at least 1 month after resolution of any previous peritonitis episode, as recommended by the American Journal of Kidney Diseases 1, 2, 3

Timing Considerations for Testing

• Peritonitis transiently increases peritoneal transport characteristics and can cause falsely elevated or depressed clearance measurements, according to the American Journal of Kidney Diseases 1, 2
