Brief Summary:
Doctors need to insert catheter for patients who are going to have peritoneal dialysis. These peritoneal catheters can be obstructed or blocked afterward. The chance of not having smooth flow can be up to 12 and 31%. So far, constipation is one of the proposed reasons. Therefore, the study is aimed to investigate whether the preventive use of laxative before the surgery can help better improve the function of the catheter and hence better flow.
Detailed Description:
This study compares the result of laxative bowel preparation versus usual care before the insertion of Tenckhoff catheters for peritoneal dialysis patients. The investigators design an open-label multi-centre randomized controlled study to evaluate the prophylactic use of laxative to reduce incidence of catheter flow dysfunction after peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion. The primary objective is to assess whether laxative prophylaxis can reduce the risk of catheter dysfunction that requires intervention. The investigators estimate that the study would need to enroll 199 peritoneal dialysis patients in each group for the study to have 80% power to detect a difference between 10% and 20% in the primary endpoint of catheter dysfunction requiring simple intervention.
