Primary Prevention
Prevention depends on the cause and the specific type of peritonitis.
- Spontaneous Peritonitis: Patients with peritoneal catheters should be treated with sterile techniques. In cases of liver failure, antibiotics may help prevent peritonitis from coming back.
- Dialysis associated Peritonitis: Careful sterile technique when performing peritoneal dialysis may help reduce the risk of inadvertently introducing bacteria during the procedure. Some cases are not preventable. Equipment design improvements have made these infections less common.
