Abstract
Infections related to the peritoneal catheter, whether of the exit-site or of the subcutaneous tunnel (ESI), are a predisposing factor for the development of peritonitis. The regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto (Triveneto) have started a collaborative network to spread knowledge and optimize the use of peritoneal dialysis. The need to collect and aggregate ESI data emerged, therefore the project of a Register of ESIs of the Triveneto (RESIsT) was launched. This work analyzes the preparation and testing phase of the Registry.
