Özet

Background : Low levels of serum IgG or IgG subclasses may be responsible for the defective peritoneal defense and for peritonitis attacks in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) children. Malnutrition, peritoneal loss or frequent peritonitis may lead to IgG or IgG subclasses deficiency.
