Paediatric continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

E J Eastham, H Kirpalani, D Francis

    Archives of Disease in Childhood
    |September 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) effectively treats children with end-stage renal failure, showing good biochemical control and high patient acceptance. A dedicated training program significantly reduced peritonitis, a common complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Renal Replacement Therapy

    Background:

    • End-stage renal failure (ESRD) in children presents significant treatment challenges.
    • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is a potential treatment modality for pediatric ESRD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAPD in children with end-stage renal failure.
    • To assess patient and parent acceptability and identify key complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of ten pediatric patients undergoing CAPD for a total of 3.4 patient-years.
    • Monitoring of biochemical parameters and complication rates, particularly peritonitis.
    • Implementation and evaluation of a specific CAPD education and training program.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Good biochemical control was achieved in all treated children.
    • High levels of patient and parent acceptability were reported.
    • Peritonitis incidence decreased tenfold after the introduction of a specialized training program.

    Conclusions:

    • CAPD is an effective short- to medium-term treatment option for pediatric end-stage renal failure.
    • Successful CAPD implementation requires a dedicated, well-trained healthcare team.
    • CAPD can be a valuable component of an integrated pediatric dialysis and transplant program.
