Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Peritoneal Fluid Leaks will be assessed by physical exam[Within 180 days of peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion];PD related infection - Exit site and/or tunnel and/or peritonitis will be assessed by physical exam, skin swab, blood cultures and or peritoneal fluid microscopy/culture/stain.[Within 180 days of peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Composite of all PD catheter related complications and Haemodialysis (HD) requirements and associated complications. PD catheter related complications include fluid leaks, infection, cuff erosion, cuff extrusion, failure to establish PD successfully (may be due to blockage, fibrin plug or outflow obstruction), delayed wound healing, haematoma, catheter revision or replacement, conversion to HD, HD related events, allergic reactions, hospitalisation for any reason with cause recorded as related to either surgery or start-up of dialysis, and death during the study period. The secondary outcomes will be assessed by physical exam and review of medical records.[Outcomes will be recorded for 180 days post PD catheter insertion]
