    Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) training proved effective for end-stage renal disease patients, showing good health control and rehabilitation. Peritonitis incidence decreased over time due to improved methods and patient selection.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Renal Replacement Therapy

    Background:

    • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a home-based renal replacement therapy.
    • Patient training is crucial for successful CAPD implementation and outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of a CAPD training program.
    • To assess patient rehabilitation and complication rates associated with CAPD.

    Main Methods:

    • Training of 31 patients for CAPD over 34 months, primarily on an outpatient basis by a single nurse.
    • Monitoring of treatment duration, complications (peritonitis, catheter issues), renal transplants, mortality, and biochemical parameters.

    Main Results:

    • CAPD demonstrated effective dialysis with good biochemical and hypertension control.

  • Significant improvement in hemoglobin levels observed in most patients.
  • Rehabilitation outcomes were favorable compared to home hemodialysis and superior to hospital hemodialysis.
  • Peritonitis incidence decreased over the study period due to enhanced patient selection and technology.

    • Conclusions:

    • CAPD training is effective, leading to good patient outcomes and rehabilitation.
    • Continuous improvement in CAPD techniques and patient management reduces complication rates like peritonitis.
