Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Peritoneal fluid leaks and infection (over the four weeks following start up of peritoneal dialysis; Leak by observation during clinical examination; infection by chemical analysis of peritoneal dialysis fluid )[4 weeks from initiation of dialysis]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Composite of all PD catheter related complications such as infection at exit site by clinical observation and will be confirmed by microbiological tests.[8 weeks from catheter insertion];Hemodialysis related complications such as infection and catheter related complications. These complications will be assessed by clinical examination/ tests[8 weeks from PD catheter insertion]
