Abstract: Objective To provide reference for clinical pharmacists when participating in anti-infection therapy and individualized pharmaceutical care for patients with peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis. Methods Clinical pharmacists participated in the pharmaceutical treatment of a patient with peritonitis in our hospital by consulting relevant information on diagnosis and treatment of peritonitis and monitoring blood drug concentration, and gave recommendations on the vancomycin medication regimen to assist clinicians in formulating an individualized regimen. Results After anti-infection therapy, the peritonitis of the patient was effectively controlled and no adverse drug reactions occurred. Conclusion Using blood concentration monitoring technology and relevant professional knowledge, clinical pharmacists can play an important role in the treatment of peritonitis patients by assisting clinicians in the preparation and modification of medication regimens, and by providing individualized pharmaceutical care for patients.Keywords: peritonitis; peritoneal dialysis; vancomycin; blood concentration monitoring
