Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

J O'Connor, G McLean

    The New Zealand Medical Journal
    |January 12, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) offers effective treatment for end-stage renal failure. Success depends on patient motivation, compliance, and family support, despite challenges like peritonitis and catheter issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Dialysis Technology

    Background:

    • End-stage renal failure (ESRF) necessitates renal replacement therapy.
    • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a wearable, portable treatment option for ESRF patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical experience and outcomes of CAPD in a cohort of ESRF patients.
    • To identify factors influencing the success of CAPD treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 42 patients undergoing CAPD.
    • Assessment of biochemical control, complications, and patient-related factors.

    Main Results:

    • CAPD achieved satisfactory biochemical control of uraemia.

  • Common complications included peritonitis, catheter malfunction, and effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure.
  • Patient motivation, compliance, and family support were key predictors of successful CAPD outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • CAPD is a viable treatment for ESRF, offering biochemical control.
    • Management of complications and attention to patient-specific factors are crucial for successful CAPD implementation.
    • Patient selection and support systems are vital for optimizing CAPD therapy.
