Abstract:
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is being used only in limited number of patients with renal failure due to multiple myeloma, despite having better preservation of hemoglobin, higher clearance of paraproteins, and higher chances of recovery of renal function than maintenance hemodialysis. We are reporting our short-term experience of five patients with multiple myeloma who presented with renal failure and required long term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for the treatment of uremia.
