In peritoneal dialysis patients, the presence of the catheter presents a risk of infection - exit site infection, tunnel infection or peritonitis. In our dialysis unit, we noticed a rise in exit-site infection associated with organisms derived from contaminated water. Therefore we decided to change the exit-site care in our unit. This is a prospective observational single center study, that compares exit-site infection rated in peritoneal dialysis patients before and after our policy change for exit-site care.
