Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
|December 8, 1979
Abstract:
Clinical experience with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is described in 12 patients. A survey over 8 months shows satisfactory results. Besides the numerous advantages of this treatment, peritonitis represents the main problem. Technical developments in the future will aim at a reduction of this risk.
