The answer would be: White blood cell (WBC) count of 20,000/mm3
Peritoneal dialysis is an invasive treatment that involves an injection of fluid to the peritoneal space. It has a high risk of infection, which could cause peritonitis. Increases of white blood cells is a sign of infection. Peritoneal dialysis needs to be stopped if the infection occurs.
