Local therapy with ozone in the management of the exit site in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis. J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. 2019 Sep-Oct;33(5 Suppl. 1):91-94 Authors: special issue: “Focus on pediatric nephrology”, Chimenz R, Sallemi A, Fusco M, Cannavò L, Salvo V, Marseglia L, Cucinotta U, Gitto E, Concolino D, Arrigo T, Salpietro C Abstract The natural history of children with end stage renal disease is dialysis until a transplant can be done. There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (1). Peritoneal dialysis is preferred in young children because getting the vascular access for hemodialysis is challenging (2). Catheters should be surgically placed in a paramedian or lateral abdominal region with an extremity located in Douglas' pouch. PMID: 31630721 [PubMed - in process]
