Although the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guidelines significantly improve the diagnostic rate by placing peritoneal dialysis fluid into blood culture bottles, peritonitis caused by atypical pathogens, such as tuberculosis and fungi, is difficult to diagnose due to challenges in culturing these organisms using traditional methods, leading to high mortality. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technology has been widely used as an accurate diagnostic technique for infectious diseases. First used in identifying and quantifying environmental micro-organisms, mNGS technology can identify rare, novel, difficult-to-detect and mixed pathogens directly from clinical samples, and has potential in predicting antibiotic resistance. This paper summarizes the application of mNGS in atypical and rare pathogens peritonitis clinical cases in recent years, and provides reference for the diagnosis of peritonitis in combination with new ISPD guidelines and diagnostic techniques. The development and principles of mNGS technology, diagnostic efficiency in peritonitis, challenges in diagnosis of atypical and rare pathogen-associated peritonitis, and application of mNGS technology are discussed in detail.

As such, we sought to estimate the costs associated with discarded Icodextrin and associated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic waste production within our renal program. We conducted a cross-sectional audit of all patients utilizing CCPD in the Alberta Kidney Care South program in Canada in 2022.

In 2021, our program spent $1.27 million CAD on Icodextrin for CCPD. Given that an average of 49% of each 2.5L bag was discarded, we estimate that the annual value of wasted Icodextrin among patients being treated with CCPD in our program was $622,300 CAD, or $3036 CAD per patient.

In Mexico, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is used by almost half of patients on renal replacement therapy, generating significant volumes of peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE) that are discarded without reuse. Unlike haemodialysis effluents, whose reuse has already been demonstrated, PDE lacks technical evidence regarding its biochemical and microbiological safety for potential non-potable applications. The objective of this study was to biochemically and microbiologically characterise the PDE generated by patients with chronic kidney disease in CAPD, comparing them with treated wastewater (TWW) and analysing their potential for non-potable reuse.MethodsPDEs obtained from CAPD patients were studied and compared with 18 TWW samples from urban and industrial plants.

The pH was neutral (∼7) and there was no residual chlorine. The complete absence of cultivable microbiological load in PDE was highlighted, unlike TWW, which presented significant elevated bacterial and fungal counts.

A 70-year-old woman on PD for dialysis caused by diabetic nephropathy was diagnosed with osteoporosis (T score -2.5) during a routine checkup. Denosumab, a receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) inhibitor, was administered following an increase in active vitamin D analog levels.

Heart failure was attributed to mild fluid overload and reduced cardiac contractility due to hypocalcemia. Treatment with calcium supplementation and hemodialysis alleviated her symptoms and improved cardiac function. Denosumab is a promising option for osteoporosis in dialysis patients, but it poses a significant risk of severe hypocalcemia, especially in those with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Reports of such complications in PD patients are rare.

It allows patients greater independence and flexibility, can reduce healthcare costs in some settings, and is reported to generate a smaller environmental footprint compared to HD. However, despite this, its environmental impact, particularly in terms of resource use and waste generation, is an area of growing concern. Evaluating PD through a sustainability lens, considering environmental, social, health and economic dimensions is crucial to improving its long-term viability and reducing the healthcare sector's environmental footprint.MethodsAn LCA of the PD treatment pathway was conducted at the Nephrology Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation Unit, 'Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria (AOU), Policlinico di Modena, Italy. Data were collected between April and July 2024 and was categorised into 17 PD-related procedures. Key activities assessed were electricity use, resource consumption (procurement), water consumption, patient and staff travel and waste disposal. Flow diagrams were created to model the PD pathway and product components were dismantled and weighed to determine material contributions. Environmental impacts were analysed using OpenLCA and the Ecoinvent database.ResultsAutomated peritoneal dialysis (APD) treatments produced greater emissions than continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), primarily due to higher electricity consumption and the use of polyvinylchloride. APD generated 3267 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e annually compared to 2975 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e for CAPD. Monthly patient examinations contributed 250 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e per year, largely from travel. CAPD produced more healthcare waste (320 kg), leading to 810 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions, while APD waste emissions were lower at 374 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e. Incremental dialysis approaches showed substantial reductions, with emissions falling to 1642 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e (APD) and 1517 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e (CAPD). The most impactful materials included polyethylene and PVC, with plastic components contributing significantly to overall emissions.ConclusionThis comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) highlights the environmental challenges associated with PD, particularly in waste generation and resource use. Key areas for improvement include reducing single-use plastic reliance, increasing recycling efforts and integrating energy-efficient solutions. This study provides a foundation for targeted sustainability interventions in PD and contributes to the broader goals of the KitNewCare project, which aims to optimise health outcomes while minimising environmental impacts in kidney care.</p>","PeriodicalId":19969,"journal":{"name":"Peritoneal Dialysis International","volume":" ","pages":"325-334"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146093718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
