What are the long-term outcomes and survival rates of patients treated with CAPD at a single center?
What are the long-term outcomes and survival rates of patients treated with CAPD at a single center?
CAPD provides reasonable survival, especially in younger non-diabetics, but is limited by high peritonitis rates and potential under-dialysis as residual renal function declines.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports reasonable CAPD survival in younger non-diabetics; leaves open generalizability and complication management in broader populations.
Tranæus et al. (1988) studied this question.
