Development of Clostridium difficile Colitis in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients Treated for Peritonitis

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: PDIthe ability of PD to clear IFN.The present case shows that IFN becomes detectable in peritoneal fluid only once high serum levels are reached, indicating that PD may clear some IFN alpha-2a, but only a very small amount.Monitoring IFN alpha concentration in dialysate may be a useful additional element in finding the right balance between efficacy and tolerability.
