DRPs
1. JW is at risk of developing a peritoneal dialysis related infection upon restarting PD and requires review of technique and assessment of prophylactic therapy
1. JW is at JW is at risk of increased drowsiness secondary to a recently increase in dose of pregabalin for the treatment of neuropathic pain and requires monitoring.

Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal Dialysis
• Various regimens available:– CAPD (continuous ambulatory PD) where multiple
exchanges, generally 4, are performed daily with 2L at each exchange
– APD (automated PD) where a mechanized cycler infuses and drains dialysate at night
– CCPD (continuous cycling PD) involves using the cycler at night plus a daytime fill.
• Desirable for people who wish to keep a flexible, active lifestyle, to whom dialysis units are not easily accessible, or who cannot tolerate the fluid shifts and blood-pressure swings associated with hemodialysis.
13
Peritoneal Dialysis
• Complications– Exit site infections (ESI)
• Purulent drainage from exit site +/- erythema
– Tunnel infections• Erythema, edema, or tenderness over SQ pathway
– Peritonitis• Patients typically present with abdominal pain, fever,
and cloudy dialysate solution.
• Most commonly caused by Staph aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
14
Peritonitis Prevention
• Proper technique for exit site care
• Flushing the line with dialysate prior to filling the abdomen reduces the risk of peritonitis from contamination.
• Antibiotic ointment to exit site daily after cleansing
– Mupirocin: covers gram positive (S. Aureus)
– Gentamicin: covers S. Aureus and gram negative (including pseudomonas)
– Either of these therapies are recommended in the ISPD guidelines.

Goals of Therapy
• Prevent recurrence of exit site infection and peritonitis in JW.
• Prevent complications of peritonitis in JW such as peritoneal membrane failure, hospitalization, and death.
• Avoid adverse effects such as exit site irritation and rash.

Bernardini et al. J Am Soc Nephrol 2005;16:539-45
Design Randomized, double-blind multi-centred
Patients(n = 133)
Inclusion: at least 18 y.o.; on PD; able to give informed consent; already enrolled in a registry permitting data collection.Exclusion: allergy to either cream, involvement in another study, or peritonitis or catheter infection either currently or in the last 30 days.
Intervention Gentamicin (n = 67) vs. mupirocin ( n = 66) cream applied to peritoneal catheter site during routine exit site care.
Primary outcome P. aeruginosa and S. aureus catheter infection rates
Secondary Gram-negative and Gram-positive peritonitis.
Other outcomes Overall catheter infection and peritonitis rates, causative organisms, catheter removals as a result of infection, and time to first catheter infection

• Catheter removal rates similar between two groups• Adverse effects: Exit site irritation, led to withdrawal in 7
patients of each arm. • Conclusion: Gentamicin applied to exit site was highly
effective in reducing P. aeruginosa infections and was as effective as mupirocin in preventing S. aureus infections.
• Comments:– Designed to look at exit site infection rates as
opposed to peritonitis rates, however, still found a difference.

Design Prospective
Patients(n = 95)
Inclusion: Adult PD patients in a Hong Kong outpatient clinicExclusion: active infection; exit site infection or peritonitis in previous 4 weeks; allergy to treatment; inability to apply drug or give consent.
Intervention Mupirocin ointment (n = 38) vs. Gentamicin cream (n = 43) applied around the exit site after their routine daily cleaning procedure.
Outcome No pre-specified outcomes were mentioned in the methodology. Episodes of infection and side effects were tracked during hospital admissions and clinic visits.

• Side effects notes were local irritation, itching, and rash• Conclusions:
– Peritonitis occurred at the same rates in both groups.
– Gentamicin was not superior to mupirocin in the prevention of exit site infections
– Catheter removal required in 1 x mup and 2 x gent
• Limitations:– Small sample size, single site
– No mention of randomization or blinding
– No power calculation performed
– No parameters specified for diagnosis of infection

Mahaldar et al. Adv Perit Dial. 2009;25:56-9.
Design Retrospective chart review
Objective To determine if the incidence of ESIs and peritonitis changed after a switch from mupirocin to gentamicin ointment.
Patients (n = 100) 18 years and older PD patients seen in outpatient clinic who had had their catheter for at least 3 months.
Intervention Mupirocin (n = 50) vs. Gentamicin (n = 50)[23 gentamicin patients had previously been on mupirocin]
Outcomes Rates of ESI, peritonitis and the organism causing the infection.

• Conclusion: No difference in rates of ESI between the two groups, with a non-statistically significant trend towards higher rates of peritonitis in gentamicin group.
• Limitations:– Small sample size and infection rate– Retrospective, therefore not controlled for other
contributing factors such as aseptic exit-site care. – Inaccurate chart documentation may have led to over
to under reporting of cases of infection.– Single site

infections. VGH based study – Wu, Greanya, Shalansky
Design Observational sequential cohort
Objective Compare the efficacy of gentamicin and mupirocin in the prevention of catheter-related PD infections.
Patients (n = 73) 18 years +, new PD catheter, followed by outpt PD clinic.Exclusion: allergic to either ointment or experienced an episode of infection during the catheter healing process before the ointment was started.
Intervention Mupirocin (n = 59) vs. Gentamicin (n = 14) ointment to catheter site
Primary outcome Length of time to first infection (CES, tunnel, or peritonitis)
Secondary outcome
Catheter-related infection rates, incidence and types of infection, treatment regimens required, and outcomes of infections.

•Conclusion: Similar incidence in infection rate in gentamicin arm as mupirocin arm with less peritonitis and similar gram +ve infection rates.
•Limitations: Interim analysis with gentamicin arm incomplete. Mupirocin arm is retrospective therefore data could be missing or incomplete.
* P = peritonitis
Summary
• Efficacy– Bernardini et al: Gentamicin arm showed a
statistically significant lower rate in both exit site infections and peritonitis over the mupirocin arm.
– No other study showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups.
• Safety– Side effects were minimal in both groups and included
exit site irritation, itching, and rash• Cost:
– Mupirocin: $14.14 Gentamicin: $14.31
34
Back to the Case
• JW has recently had his catheter removed secondary to recurrent exit site infections, for which cultures have grown gram positive cocci.
• Evidence shows gentamicin ointment prevents gram negative and gram positive infections.
• Once the catheter is reinserted recommend using gentamicin applied daily to exit site for prevention of PD related infections.
