Peritonitis in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Scottish Medical Journal, 1986
The main complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is peritonitis. This paper describes our experience in the diagnosis and management of this complication in 66 patients during the three years to October 1982. The overall incidence of peritonitis was one episode every 6.75 patient months.

Peritonitis with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1984
The frequency and cause of peritonitis in 18 children receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and nine children receiving continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) are described. Cumulative CAPD and CCPD experience demonstrated 58 episodes of peritonitis in 294 patient treatment months (one case per 5.1 patient treatment months).

Dialysis: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis

Clinics in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1986
A decade ago diabetics with uraemia were excluded from dialysis because of the uniformly poor outcome of dialysis and transplantation, and the progressive deterioration of vision. By 1978, however, owing to technical advances in haemodialysis and reduction of complications, survival among chronically haemodialysed diabetics improved considerably ...

Peritonitis in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1983
Peritonitis is the most important complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We reviewed our experience with peritonitis over a 2 1/2-year period. Our patients spent 4% of their total time on dialysis in hospital due to peritonitis. Thirty-eight percent of the episodes of peritonitis were treated without hospitalization.

Peritonitis in children on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

Journal of Infection, 1988
Between 1979 and 1985, 26 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis had 97 episodes of peritonitis. These occurred over a period of 336 patient months, giving an incidence of one episode every 3.5 patient months. The micro-organisms comprised Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi which accounted for six episodes.

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

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.

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 ...
