5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether a switch to intravenous antibiotics with adjunctive lavage can improve the outcome of severe peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis.
Detailed Description
The standard treatment of peritoneal dialysis (PD) related peritonitis is intraperitoneal (IP) antibiotics. In severe cases not responding to the IP antibiotics treatment, timely Tenckhoff catheter removal is needed. There is no known adjunctive measure that can improve the clinical outcome of the patients suffering from severe PD peritonitis. Based on the past experience in the investigators' center, switching IP to intravenous route of antibiotics administration, together with adjunctive lavage was proposed to improve the clinical outcome of severe PD peritonitis, in particular a possible improved catheter salvage rate. This method will be evaluated in the present clinical trial.

Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Intraperitoneal vancomycin & gentamicin
Intervention Description
Intraperitoneal vancomycin and gentamicin are administered, with the usual continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis schedule maintained. (choice of antibiotic is adjusted in accordance with the microbiology report when available)
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title

Time Frame
Tenckhoff catheter removal is arranged when there is no clinical response after 5 days of treatment
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Number of participants developing relapsing peritonitis
Time Frame
All participants are observed for any peritonitis within 4 weeks of completion of antibiotics treatment
Title
Number of participants requiring hospitalization
Time Frame
All participants are observed for any hospitalization within 12 weeks of completion of antibiotics treatment
