    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Renal Replacement Therapy

    Context:

    • Chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) is a vital treatment for pediatric end-stage renal disease.
    • This study evaluates outcomes in children undergoing CPD since 1982.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the long-term efficacy and complications of CPD in a cohort of uremic children.
    • To evaluate patient survival, transplant rates, and growth outcomes.

    Summary:

    • Thirty-two uremic children were treated with CPD (CCPD or CCPD).
    • Outcomes included 31% alive with transplant, 50% awaiting transplant, 16% mortality, and 3% switched to hemodialysis.
    • Common complications were peritonitis, catheter issues, and hernias, with good to excellent linear growth observed.

    Impact:

    • CPD demonstrates a favorable quality of life for pediatric patients with kidney failure.
    • The findings support CPD as an effective and attractive renal replacement therapy in children.
