Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is a successful kidney treatment with falling peritonitis rates. Advances in managing malnutrition and improving patient well-being are ongoing, with potential long-term complications like amyloidosis emerging.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Renal Replacement Therapy

Background:

  • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) has advanced significantly over the last decade.
  • Established as a successful kidney-replacement therapy, with ongoing efforts to optimize its application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in CAPD.
  • To highlight challenges and potential complications associated with long-term CAPD treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent developments in CAPD.
  • Analysis of peritonitis rates, dialysis adequacy criteria, and management of complications.

Main Results:

  • Decreased peritonitis rates and improved patient well-being with recombinant human erythropoietin.
  • Intraperitoneal amino acids show promise for managing malnutrition.

    • Conclusions:

    • CAPD is a viable and evolving kidney replacement therapy.
    • Management strategies for malnutrition and anemia have improved.
    • Long-term use necessitates monitoring for complications such as amyloidosis.
