Cycler dialysis evolution.
Use of automated cycler equipment is currently limited to a fraction of the peritoneal dialysis population. Various technical barriers combined in the past to inhibit its wider application. We have treated forty-seven patients over an eight year period with cycler dialysis, and have observed the evolution of this modality from a treatment of last resort to a first choice therapy for many patients--especially those who work.
