Infectious and Non-infectious Complications of Peritoneal Dialysis in Children

Abstract

Despite the many advantages of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in children with endstage renal disease, there exist redoubtable complications of PD that should be overcome. To prevent and manage these complications, a multidisciplinary team should provide support highly tailored for each child and family, based on the standardized practice guidelines for the management of pediatric PD. In this review, we summarize the clinical manifestations and management of several complications of PD.
