Abstract

Although the concept of peritoneal dialysis had been with us for many decades, its use in the management of patients in end stage renal failure was of a limited nature until the introduction of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in 19761. Since then, interest in peritoneal dialysis has increased tremendously and CAPD has now become an established form of renal replacement therapy, challenging haemodialysis as the first choice dialysis treatment. The current state of the art has been a combination of painstaking efforts on the part of several innovative pioneers in this field2. This review outlines the more recent advances in the technique of CAPD and in the understanding of its pathophysiological processes and attempts to correlate these with the results and use of CAPD in chronic renal failure.
