Detections of Chemicals and Migratory Plastics in Peritoneal Dialysis Fluids.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Peritonitis and ultrafiltration failure are complications that have a long-term impact on PD patients. Besides touch contamination, procedural errors and clinical reasons of peritonitis, contaminants, and constituents of peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDFs) have been implicated in causing peritonitis and ultrafiltration failure. This study was aimed to test the PDFs in India for the presence of migratory plastics.

Materials and methods

PDFs from the two manufacturers in India were tested using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) with headspace analysis (volatile compounds) and pyrolysis of plastics (polymer compounds). The s
