Abstract: | Acute peritoneal dialysis (PO) is the most popular from of dialysis
in Sri Lanka. Patients followed up in this series between 30th of October 1995 and
10th of December 1995 developed many complications. 44.4% developed catheter
obstruction, 40% peritonitis, 26.6% had bleeding while 17.8% developed leaks
and 4.2% had other complications. 'Coliforms' were the most common organisms
involved in peritonitis followed by Staphylococcus aureus. This study also
highlights the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of these organisms and the of
management of peritonitis in the National Hospital of Sri Lanka. Abstract : Acute peritoneal dialysis (PO) is the most popular from of dialysis in Sri Lanka.
