Subcutaneous gentamicin injection around the cuff in treatment of resistant exit site infection in peritoneal dialysis patients: a pilot study
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE One of the most common complications of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the infection of the exit site of the peritoneal catheter. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the subcutaneous gentamicin injection around the cuff as a part of routine treatment of the resistant exit site infection (ESI). METHODS If the exit site remains infected after a 2-wee...
متن کاملComparison of gentamicin and mupirocin in the prevention of exit-site infection and peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis.
Exit-site infection (ESI) and peritonitis are the most frequent reasons for catheter removal and patient drop-out from peritoneal dialysis (PD). After a randomized double-blind study showed gentamicin to be superior to mupirocin for exit-site prophylaxis, several dialysis centers including ours switched from topical mupirocin to gentamicin. Our study examined whether the change from mupirocin t...
متن کاملErosion of the Silicone Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter with the Use of Gentamicin Cream at the Exit Site.
Infection remains the leading complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Topical mupirocin and gentamicin are frequently used to prevent infections. Mupirocin ointment has been reported to cause damage to both polyurethane and silicone PD catheters. Gentamicin cream has not been associated with physical damage to catheters.A 64-year-old woman on PD developed relapsing peritonitis with Staphyloco...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of gentamicin in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Teh pharmacokinetics of gentamicin were studied in seven chronic renal failure patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Patients received 100 mg of gentamicin in 2 liters of dialysate during an initial pass, and serum and dialysate samples were collected for gentamicin determination. Approximately 49% of the amount introduced into the peritoneal cavity was absorbed systemi...
