Summary

Peritoneal dialysis, known as p- dialysis (PD), is a dialysis form in which the blood is purified by using the body's peritoneum. PD dependents on good access to peritoneum. For this, a catheter is implanted in the peritoneum and tunneled 2-3 cm below the skin. The way out is called exit site and is close to the navel.

Patients are selected at random to use bandage or not use bandage for three months, then cross-over. The overall objective of the research is that the patient in PD maintains a complete and healthy skin without signs of infection around the exit site. In the study effects by omission of bandage over exit site at patients in PD are examined when the patients are in a stable process with PD. The patient's exit site is assessed according to skin character and examined for infection.

The hypothesis is that there is no greater rate of infection in patients without bandage than in patients with bandage over the exit site, and that patients without bandage will have stronger skin around exit site.
