The frequency of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and subsequent demand for life-saving kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is rising in Africa. However, only 10% of adults living in sub-Saharan Africa have access to KRT. Many patients die within 6 months of the initiation of haemodialysis (HD), which may be related to, among others, vascular-access-related complications. This study determined the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), microbiological profile of causative organisms, and associated predictors in patients on chronic HD.
