    • wounds, or after a surgical operation
    • severe burns
    • important skin inflammatory reactions
    • peritonitis
    • unhealed suppurating wounds
    • umbilical, inguinal, or diaphragmatic hernia
    • abdominal or intestinal tumors
  • inflammatory bowel disease

  • lung disease, especially pneumonia
  • bloodstream infection caused by bacteria
  • very high levels of blood fat
  • blood accumulation of uremic toxins whose elimination cannot be performed by cleaning the blood.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor immediately:

  • in case ofsevere electrolyte loss (salts)caused by vomiting and/or diarrhea.
  • in case ofhigh parathyroid gland activityorlow blood calcium level. You may need to take additional calcium phosphate-containing chelators and/or vitamin D. If this is not possible, a peritoneal dialysis solution with a higher calcium concentration should be used.
  • in case ofperitonitis, recognizable by cloudy peritoneal dialysis solution, abdominal pain, fever, malaise, or, in very rare cases, blood contamination.

Show your doctor the drainage solution bag.

  • in case ofsevere abdominal pain, abdominal distension, or vomiting. This may be a sign of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, a complication of peritoneal dialysis treatment that can lead to death.

Peritoneal dialysis may cause aloss of proteinsandwater-soluble vitamins. It is recommended to follow a suitable diet or take nutritional supplements to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

Your doctor should regularly check your electrolyte balance (salts), blood cell count, renal function, body weight, and nutritional status.

CAPD/DPCA 17 contains 15 g of glucose in 1000 ml of solution. Depending on the dosing instructions and the size of the container used, it is administered with each bag up to 45 g of glucose (CAPD, 3000 mlstay•safe) or up to 75 g of glucose (APD, 5000 mlsleep•safe). This should be taken into account in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus.

Peritoneal dialysis may alter the effect of some medications, so your doctor may need to change the dose for some of them, especially the following

  • Heart failure medications, such as digoxin.
  • Your doctor will check your blood potassium level and, if necessary, take the necessary measures.
  • Medications that affect calcium levels, such as those containing calcium or vitamin D.
  • Diuretics that increase urine excretion.
  • Oral medicationsthat decrease blood sugar levels or insulin. Regular blood sugar level control is recommended.

You can find more detailed information in the manual of your bag warmer. To warm the solution, ovens should not be used due to the risk of local overheating. After warming the solution, the exchange of bags can be performed.
