Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is an effective long-term treatment for renal failure. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare but devastating complication of CAPD and may be caused by long-term peritoneal antiseptic exposure. We examined the peritoneal injury resulting from daily inoculations of moderately high concentrations of the following antiseptics: povidone-iodine, Dakin's solution, Amuchina, and Ampercide. After 4, 8, and 12 weeks of daily intraperitoneal injections in rats, a 10% solution of povidone-iodine in dialysis fluid caused a condition that mirrors human SEP. Animals had poor early weight gain, and gross necropsy examination revealed intestinal adhesions and a mesothelium that was sclerotically thickened. From 4 to 8 weeks the 10% povidone-iodine-injected animals showed progressive conditions and the prevalence of multiple encapsulating adhesions increased from 0/6 to 4/4, p = 0.005. Marked visceral mesothelial thickening in the 10% povidone-iodine-injected animals was quantitated after 4, 8, and 12 weeks at 92.0 +/- 11.6, 151.5 +/- 28.8, and 206.0 +/- 36.2 micron, respectively. Rats injected with dialysis fluid (controls) had normal-appearing mesothelial surfaces measured at 1.8 +/- 0.2, 2.4 +/- 0.2, and 2.2 +/- 0.2 micron after 4, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively. The marked thickening of the mesothelium in the 10% povidone-iodine group compared with the controls was highly significant, p less than 10(-8). We conclude that povidone-iodine, the most commonly used antiseptic in CAPD, caused severe tissue injury, whereas other antiseptic solutions, Dakin's, Amuchina, and Ampercide, at the similar dilution did not appear to cause mesothelial injury.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
