Aim:To identify the risk factor contributed to peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis.
Background: Peritonitis is associated with an increasing morbidity and mortality rate in peritoneal dialysis patients. A number of peritonitis cases result in hypoalbuminemia, and in other cases, peritonitis follows a decline in the serum albumin level. Albumin is a major serum protein that plays a vital physiological function, including the maintenance of colloidal osmotic pressure. Albumin not only as a nutritional marker but also an indicator of peritonitis.
Methods: Observational study using secondary data based on medical records included 75 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving PD therapy from Dr. Sardjito Hospital, January – December 2020. Patients were categorized into two groups: peritonitis group (n = 18) and non-peritonitis group (n = 57). PD-associated peritonitis was diagnosed based on guidelines recommended by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis.
Results:The most frequently identified pathogen was Gram-positive cocci (61,11 %). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that serum albumin (OR 8.364, 95% CI 2.569-27.226 ; p= 0.001) was significantly correlated with PD-associated peritonitis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed that the areas under the curve was 0.728 with optimal cut-off values of 3.235 g/dL for serum albumin.
Conclusion:Low serum albumin increased the risk of PD-associated peritonitis. Gram-positive coccus is the major pathogen responsible for PD-associated peritonitis.
