Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This randomized controlled trial aims to determine the efficacy of a procedure (intervention) involving frequent dialysis using an approved peritoneal dialysis solution in patients with peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PD-associated peritonitis). This study is not intended to evaluate the pharmacological effects or off-label uses of a specific dialysis solution, but rather to verify the superiority of frequent dialysis as a therapeutic procedure.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

The number of days until clinical cure (clinical cure is defined as the normalization of white blood cell count in PD effluent)

Key secondary outcomes

The number of days until the viable bacterial count in the effluent falls below the detection limit, Reduction in abdominal pain (on an 11-point scale), number of days until free from pain, number of days until fever subsides, death within 50 days of the onset of peritonitis, transition to hemodialysis (HD), removal of peritoneal dialysis catheter, recurrence of peritonitis, number of days until the peak white blood cell count in the effluent is halved, number of days until the peak serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level is halved.

Key inclusion criteria

1)Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for PD-associated peritonitis must: They must meet at least two of the following criteria:
- Clinical symptoms suggestive of peritonitis, such as abdominal pain or cloudy dialysate.
- White blood cell count in the dialysate of 100/microL or higher (with a neutrophil percentage of 50% or higher).
- Positive Gram stain or culture of the effusion.
2) Age: Patients must be aged 18 years or over at the time informed consent is obtained.
3) Participating institutions: Patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis at one of the four Jikei University hospitals.
4) Informed consent: Patients who have provided written consent to participate in this study.

Key exclusion criteria

1) Severe systemic condition: Patients for whom urgent systemic management or surgical intervention is a higher priority than frequent dialysis procedures, such as those with septic shock or impaired consciousness.
2) Fungal or tuberculous peritonitis: Patients in whom infection by a specific pathogen that is difficult to treat with standard frequent dialysis procedures or antibiotic therapy is strongly suspected.
3) Physical damage to the catheter itself: Patients for whom fluid exchange is difficult and frequent dialysis procedures cannot be performed.
4) Recent participation history: Patients who participated in this study within the past 30 days and have experienced a relapse of peritonitis, as this is considered a continuation of the same episode.
5) Other: Patients deemed unsuitable for participation in this study by the principal investigator or a co-investigator.
