Peritonitis During Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1980
We initiated a therapeutic program of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for patients with chronic renal failure. Our program resulted in many episodes of peritonitis arising from contamination due to the technical aspects of the procedure.

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

American Journal of Nephrology, 2008
CAPD has stimulated much interest because of conceptual and practical developments over the last decade. The growth of CAPD also demonstrates that hemodialysis as practiced at the present time is not completely satisfactory for many patients and CAPD helps to fill a need. CAPD may not be the ultimate favorite in most patients, but may continue to offer

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis and Scleroderma

Nephron, 2008
A patient with scleroderma has been maintained on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for the past 18 months after having developed associated renal failure. Peritoneal clearances, pulmonary function tests, and hand studies have shown seasonal changes from summer to winter with ambient temperature variations.

Update on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

La Ricerca in Clinica e in Laboratorio, 1983
By now many patients have been successfully maintained on CAPD for five years or more, thus demonstrating that CAPD is a viable long-term treatment for end-stage renal disease. Peritonitis--the main concern of the earlier years--is now a less frightening complication.

Evaluation of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1983
This study was undertaken to ascertain whether 19 patients maintained on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for at least 1 year experienced any deterioration in peritoneal membrane function. Selected serum chemistries and skinfold measurements were also evaluated to determine whether patients dialyzed by CAPD could maintain a normal ...

Experience with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

Medical Journal of Australia, 1982
Thirty-one patients were trained for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) over a 34-month period. Their mean age (42 +/- 14 years) did not differ from that of the total dialysis population. The training was conducted primarily on an outpatient basis by one registered nurse. The duration of treatment ranged from two to 34 months (median, 8.0

Adequacy of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 1993
Adequacy of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and its variants is assessed by clinical outcomes, biochemical parameters and clearance parameters. Clinical outcomes lack specificity and probably sensitivity. Nevertheless, they constitute the “gold standard” to which any other method assessing dialysis adequacy must be compared ...

Algal Peritonitis Complicating Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1986
A 41-year-old woman on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) presented with algal peritonitis. Prototheca wickerhamii was isolated from multiple dialysate effluent cultures. Despite treatment with amphotericin B, catheter removal was required.
