CAPD Fluid for AFB

CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) fluid can be tested for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacillus) when there is a suspicion of peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) in patients undergoing dialysis. In such cases, a sample of the CAPD effluent (dialysate fluid) is collected and analyzed for the presence of AFB, which are indicative of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB. Testing typically involves staining the fluid with Ziehl-Neelsen stain to identify AFB under a microscope, or culturing the fluid to grow and detect the bacteria. A positive result suggests peritoneal TB, which requires specific anti-tuberculosis treatment.
