Abstract: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter-related infection is a serious complication in PD patients, being an important risk factor for drawing out of PD catheter and peritonitis and affecting prognosis of the PD patients. In May 2023, the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) updated the guideline recommendations for PD catheter-related infection, revised and clarified the definition and classification of PD catheter exit site infection (ESI) and tunnel infection. A new target that overall PD catheter ESI rate should be less than 0.4 episodes per year was established. The specific recommendation for prevention and treatment of PD catheter-related infections was provided, and the research direction of PD catheter-related infections was proposed. In this review, we present an interpretation on this guideline.
