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.

Pseudomonas Peritonitis and Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1982
In a population of 44 patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for a total of 591 patient months, there were 104 episodes of peritonitis. The organisms were gram-positive in 65.4%, gram-negative in 23.1%, and cultures of the dialysate were sterile in 11.5%.

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

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 ...
