- Abstract
Background. Peritonitis is the most frequent serious complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). It has a major influence on the number of patients switching from CAPD to haemodialysis and has probably restricted the wider acceptance and uptake of CAPD as an alternative mode of dialysis. This systematic review sought to determine if modifications of the transfer set (Y‐set or double‐bag systems) used in CAPD exchanges are associated with a reduction in peritonitis and an improvement in other relevant outcomes.
