Abstract

Among the recent advancements in Peritoneal Dialysis, the guidelines on the prevention and treatment of peritonitis, published in March 2022 by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD), are of particular importance. The ISPD periodically updates these guidelines, with the previous update dating back to 2016. Peritonitis, despite its decreased incidence, remains a significant challenge in PD as it continues to be a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and dropout from the modality. The 2022 ISPD guidelines update the previous recommendations and introduce new ones. These recommendations are evidence-based where evidence is available.
