Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Any patient who require a new tunnelled catheter for haemodialysis. Patients fall into three groups:
1. Patients who present to the kidney unit of the UHNS with kidney failure needing maintenance haemodialysis
2. Patients who have to switch from peritoneal to haemodialysis because of problems with their peritoneal dialysis
3. Existing haemodialysis patients who need tunnelled catheters because their arterivenous fistulas or tunnelled catheters have failed
The decision to place a tunnelled dialysis catheter is made by one of the renal consultants entirely on the basis of clinical need. Patients will be invited to take part prior to insertion of the tunnelled dialysis catheter. Randomisation will be by sealed envelopes. The only differences in dialysis care that patients will have is the locking agent, otherwise patients will have the same treatment whether they are dialysing in our main renal unit in Stoke or our two satellite units at Stafford and Leighton. They will be followed up and all dialysis-related issues will be documented as per current practice.
