Aim: We investigated the association of peritoneal glucose exposure and dialysis exchange number with peritonitis outcome in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Methods: The first episodes of bacterial peritonitis were retrospectively analyzed in 187 CAPD patients. Peritoneal glucose exposure was calculated based on PD prescription at the onset of peritonitis. Results: Patients with peritoneal glucose exposure <= 140 g/day showed a higher and complete cure rate of peritonitis (66 vs. 51.7%, p = 0.047), lower occurrence of relapsing/recurrent peritonitis (10.0 vs. 21.8%, p = 0.026) and catheter removal (14.0 vs. 26.4%, p = 0.033). Patients who exchanged more than three times every day demonstrated marginally higher catheter removal rate (24.1 vs. 13.0%, p = 0.085). Logistic analysis indicated that peritoneal glucose exposure >140 g/day was an independent predictor for relapsing/recurrent peritonitis (RR: 1.959, p = 0.042). Conclusion: High peritoneal glucose exposure is associated with increased incidence of relapsing/ recurrent peritonitis in CAPD patients.
