Area of Science:

Nephrology
Medical Technology

Context:

Peritoneal dialysis has evolved over five decades.
Early adoption faced challenges with patient and physician acceptance.
Continuous ambulant peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) emerged as a significant advancement.

Purpose:

To highlight the evolution and increasing acceptance of CAPD.
To compare CAPD's effectiveness with intermittent dialysis methods.
To discuss the factors contributing to CAPD's popularity and its role in treating end-stage renal insufficiency.

Summary:

CAPD offers greater weekly solute clearances compared to intermittent forms, enhancing treatment effectiveness.
Simple handling and patient autonomy from machinery are key drivers of CAPD's popularity.
Successful strategies against peritonitis have established CAPD as a recognized treatment for end-stage renal disease.
