[Results of treatment with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. One year observation].
Results of one-year dialysis adequacy monitoring in 20 patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis with Baxter dialysis systems were presented. Relatively low mortality rate (10%), stable, within accepted range, peritonitis rate (1 episode per 16.4 patient-months), and high percentage of patients dialysed adequately (75%), let us to conclude, that CAPD may be a safe renal replacement therapy modality, which may be, in selected cases, an alternative method to hemodialysis.
