title: [Clinical analysis of 228 patients treated with penctoneal dialysis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize the treatment with peritoneal dialysis with the "O" set peritoneal dialysis catheter.
  
  
  METHODS
  Reviewing the 228 cases of chronic renal failure patients, we compared their blood pressure and hemoglobin before peritoneal dialysis with those after peritoneal dialysis, observed the morbidity of peritonitis and drainage block, and analyzed reasons that the patients withdrew from peritoneal dialysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patients' blood pressures were controlled very well after peritoneal dialysis. Hemoglobin increased significantly, compared with that before peritoneal dialysis. Death caused by complications of peritoneal dialysis was the primary reason that the patients withdrew from peritoneal dialysis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Peritoneal dialysis is simple, convenient, safe and efficient.
