The major complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) still is peritonitis, therefore, early and simple methods for detection of infection are important. Peritoneal effluent cellularity is a predictor of peritonitis and can be detected by Cytur-Test, a test-strip developed for detection of leucocytes in urine. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of Cytur-Test as a diagnostic test in peritonitis in patients on CAPD. A total of more than 5 000 tests were performed. During the period we diagnosed 46 cases of peritonitis. The Cytur-Test was positive in all cases. There were no false negative tests. In two cases only, the test appeared positive for 48 hours without clinical signs of peritonitis.
持续性非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）的主要并发症仍是腹膜炎，因此，早期且简便的感染检测方法很重要。腹膜透析液细胞计数是腹膜炎的一个预测指标，可通过Cytur-Test进行检测，Cytur-Test是一种为检测尿液中的白细胞而开发的试纸条。本研究的目的是评估Cytur-Test作为CAPD患者腹膜炎诊断试验的有效性。总共进行了5000多次检测。在此期间，我们诊断出46例腹膜炎病例。所有病例的Cytur-Test均为阳性。没有假阴性检测结果。仅在两例病例中，该检测在48小时呈阳性，但无腹膜炎的临床体征。
