Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1980 The potential use of the peritoneum as a dialyzing membrane was recognized as early as 1923 (1, 2). Nevertheless, not until a permanent indwelling peritoneal catheter was developed in 1964 by Palmer et al. (3) and later modified by Tenckhoff (4), did long-term intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) become a practical alternative to hemodialysis ...

Complications of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis [PDF]
RadioGraphics, 2009 Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is used to treat end-stage renal failure in an increasing number of patients. CAPD has an advantage over hemodialysis in that it allows patients greater freedom to perform daily activities; it also provides other clinical benefits. However, the long-term effectiveness of CAPD is limited by complications,

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and bone
Kidney International, 1986 We studied the effects of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) on the histological manifestations of uremic bone disease. Twelve patients underwent bone biopsy immediately prior to and after one year of such treatment. Those with larger quantities of non-mineralized bone matrix (osteoid) experienced a reduction in relative osteoid volume ...
