| Cohort | This is a single-center and retrospective analysis of all patients suffering FP in the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Zhuhai, China between April 2015 and April 2020. A total of 291 episodes of peritonitis were observed between April 2015 and April 2020, including 21 cases of FP. |

| Disease Introduction Mechanism | Fungal peritonitis (FP) remains a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), with higher morbidity (1–23.8%) and mortality (2–25%) than bacterial PD- related peritonitis (PDRP). Updated guidelines recom- mend effective antifungal therapy and expeditious catheter removal once the diagnosis is established. However, early diagnosis and treatment are often diffi- cult since the clinical manifestations are not specific and microbiological results are belated. Therefore, it is urgent to identify inexpensive, accessible, and sensitive laboratory markers for predicting the disease. |
