Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is a home-based renal replacement therapy (RRT). It uses glucosebased dialysate solutions, typically 1.5% or 2.5% strength, to perform 3 to 4 dialysis cycles each day. The Number of PD exchange affects the quality of life. The cost and peritonitis episodes are related to the number of PD cycles. In our center, the primary challenges faced by the CAPD program were CAPD-associated peritonitis and difficulties in maintaining a constant supply of consumables.
