Oral Colonization of Staphylococcus Species in a Peritoneal Dialysis Population: A Possible Reservoir for PD-Related Infections?

Table 1

Aetiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) vintage, residual renal function, and blood pressure of PD patients.

	PD patients
Aetiology of CKD
Glomerular disease	52.38%
Diabetic nephropathy	19.05%
Other glomerular diseases	33.33%
Tubulointerstitial disease	23.81%
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease	14.29%
Other tubulointerstitial diseases	9.52%
Unknown	23.81%
PD vintage (months)	15.45 ± 16.90
Residual renal function (mL/min)	6.98 ± 4.52
Blood pressure
Systolic	130.19 ± 19.65
Diastolic	78.29 ± 10.96

Results are shown in prevalence (%); CKD, chronic kidney disease; PD, peritoneal dialysis.
