title: Haemodialysis in infants.
abstract: Chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is the treatment most often used in neonates and infants with chronic kidney failure. However, in some cases it is impossible to use CAPD, e.g. due to major abdominal surgery. Then chronic intermittent haemodialysis is the only remaining treatment, until kidney transplantation can be carried out.
