title: [Peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation].
abstract: Individualized prescription of bicarbonate solutions allows one to control metabolic acidosis. Low sodium solutions improve sodium removal and may become available in the future. Varying dwell time and fill volume when intermittent APD is prescribed improves the efficiency of dialysis. Continuous flow peritoneal dialysis can dramatically improves the efficiency of dialysis. Normalized haemoglobin values by epoietin-beta in renal transplant recipients are associated with a better graft survival at 2 years. Switch from calcineurins inhibitors to sirolimus after the first squamous-cell carcinoma lead to significantly longer survival free of cutaneous carcinoma at 2 years. Eculizumab allowed successful prevention and treatment of atypical haemolytic and uremic syndrome episodes.
