    Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a viable treatment for scleroderma patients experiencing renal failure. This case study shows acceptable quality of life and disease management with CAPD.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Rheumatology
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Scleroderma frequently leads to renal failure, necessitating renal replacement therapy.
    • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a treatment option for end-stage renal disease.

    Observation:

    • A patient with scleroderma and renal failure was managed with CAPD for 18 months.
    • Seasonal variations in ambient temperature correlated with changes in peritoneal clearances, pulmonary function, and hand studies.
    • The patient maintained acceptable quality of life and rehabilitation.
    • Blood pressure was controlled without medication, and disease progression was minimal.
    • Low-dose captopril was used to suppress plasma renin activity.

    Findings:

    • CAPD demonstrated effectiveness in managing renal failure associated with scleroderma.

  • Seasonal temperature fluctuations influenced physiological parameters in CAPD patients.
  • Scleroderma disease activity appeared stable during CAPD treatment.

    • Implications:

    • CAPD may be an acceptable and indicated treatment for renal failure in scleroderma patients.
    • Further research into temperature effects on CAPD in autoimmune diseases is warranted.
    • This case highlights the potential benefits of CAPD in improving quality of life for scleroderma patients with renal complications.
