Who does best on CAPD? A study to identify self-care determinants.
Individuals with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) may be offered two main types of renal replacement therapy--haemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). At present approximately 50% of individuals within the United Kingdom who require dialysis are maintained on CAPD whilst the remainder receive haemodialysis (1).
