Novel Diagnostic Tools for Acute Peritonitis
TS-000635 — Infectious peritonitis is a serious complication in patients undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) leading to patient morbidity and mortality. Currently available, non-specific diagnostic criteria of peritonitis can lead to missed /over-diagnosis. Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital have discovered more sensitive and specific biomarker for peritonitis in the PD population that entails measurement of antimicrobial peptide levels. This new process will aid practitioners in early, accurate diagnosis of acute peritonitis in patients undergoing PD.
