The peritoneal immune system and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) has been an established treatment for end-stage renal disease for about 20 years. A major problem of CAPD is the relatively high incidence of peritonitis, and this fact has served as a stimulus to nephrologists to study the immune mechanisms of the peritoneum. It is by now well established that all three main cell systems present in the peritonea...
متن کاملPaediatric continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Ten children in end-stage renal failure were treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This represents a total of 3.4 patient years. Biochemical control was good, and parent and patient acceptability high. Peritonitis was the chief complication, but after the institution of a specific CAPD education and training programme the incidence declined 10-fold. We regard CAPD as an e...

At the beginning of the third year, despite an increasing dose and number of antihypertensive medications, he complained of progressive fatigue, anorexia, and ankle swelling.

متن کاملPeritoneal tuberculosis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic renal failure have an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). This occurs with much higher frequency within the first 12 months of initiating dialysis and is usually extrapulmonary in nature. Patients most at risk are those from susceptible ethnic groups, especially the Indian subcontinent. Peritoneal TB, otherwise relatively uncommon, has emerged as an important f...
متن کاملFactors influencing peritoneal catheter survival in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
The success of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is to a great extent determined by the survival of the peritoneal catheter. The aim of this study was to identify technical factors which influence CAPD catheter survival. A total of 453 CAPD catheters inserted into 310 patients over an 8-year period were analysed. Access to the peritoneum was gained either by an open surgical tech...
