First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looked at whether regularly testing and retraining people on peritoneal dialysis (a home-based kidney treatment) on infection prevention can lower the risk of peritonitis, a serious infection. Over 700 new dialysis patients from several European countries took part. The goal was to see if extra education and skill checks could reduce infections, hospital stays, and treatment failures compared to standard care.
