Summary
Among 97 patients treated by CAPD for a mean of 10.5 months, the peritonitis rate was 1.9 episodes/patient years and 15 patients had serious complications of peritonitis prompting a change to hemodialysis. Complications included sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, loss of ultrafiltration capacity, loss of peritoneal surface and recurrent peritonitis. The pathogenesis of these complications of peritonitis remains unknown but these sequelae impede long-term treatment by CAPD.
