Paediatric continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Ten children in end-stage renal failure were treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This represents a total of 3.4 patient years. Biochemical control was good, and parent and patient acceptability high. Peritonitis was the chief complication, but after the institution of a specific CAPD education and training programme the incidence declined 10-fold. We regard CAPD as an e...
متن کاملPeritoneal tuberculosis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic renal failure have an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). This occurs with much higher frequency within the first 12 months of initiating dialysis and is usually extrapulmonary in nature. Patients most at risk are those from susceptible ethnic groups, especially the Indian subcontinent. Peritoneal TB, otherwise relatively uncommon, has emerged as an important f...
متن کاملFactors influencing peritoneal catheter survival in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
The success of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is to a great extent determined by the survival of the peritoneal catheter. The aim of this study was to identify technical factors which influence CAPD catheter survival. A total of 453 CAPD catheters inserted into 310 patients over an 8-year period were analysed. Access to the peritoneum was gained either by an open surgical tech...
متن کاملCurrent problems in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
In spite of multiple problems, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is now an acceptable alternative treatment for end-stage renal failure. With proper care and attention to detail, many of its problems can be reduced or eliminated. It is particularly suitable for the very old, the very young and the patient living a long distance from the centre, and it is the treatment of choice for diab...
متن کاملFungal peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Fungal peritonitis represents one of the most serious complications in patients on peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The therapy often consists of peritoneal catheter extraction and patient recruitment to hemodialysis. For some of the patients the peritoneal dialysis is the only way of dialysis, due to inability to perform a permanent vascular access. In this study we present 13 patients with fungal ...
