title: [Prevention of peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis].
abstract: The reduction in the peritonitis rate over recent years has been obtained as a result of the use of disconnectable systems in patients treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. This complication was previously one of the major reasons for withdrawal from the treatment. The reduction in peritonitis would appear to be due, in particular, to the flush effect performed in all of the patients using a Y-set system.
