While APD is generally safe, patients may experience some complications:
Peritonitis: An infection of the peritoneal cavity that requires prompt treatment with antibiotics. Catheter Issues: Problems such as blockage, displacement, or infection at the catheter site. Fluid Imbalance: Overfilling or underfilling of the peritoneal cavity can lead to fluid overload or dehydration. Mechanical Failures: Malfunctions of the cycler machine can interrupt the treatment process.
