Hypertension is associated with an increased risk of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis: a retrospective cohort study.

Baseline hypertension was independently associated with a higher risk of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

These findings highlight the potential importance of blood pressure status in peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis risk stratification and long-term peritoneal dialysis management.
