Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1994
Many patients with end-stage renal disease are maintained on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This technique offers a number of advantages over hemodialysis, but it is associated with certain potential complications. Peritonitis and other infectious complications are the most commonly seen in the emergency department.

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.

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. Staphylococcus albus and Staphylococcus

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.

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

New England Journal of Medicine, 1988
As a long-term dialysis therapy, CAPD has attractive features for use in children (in whom access to the circulation and immobility are often problems), adults in whom blood access is difficult, patients with diabetes, patients prone to hypotension, and patients seeking independence from a machine or medical facility.

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.
