May support CAPD in select patients; case-report data leave broader applicability and durability open.
Observational (n=31)
CAPD is an effective outpatient dialysis modality that provides good biochemical and blood pressure control.
Rigby et al. (1982) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease requiring dialysis (n=31). Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was evaluated on Technique failure. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis provided effective biochemical and hypertension control, with a technique failure rate of 22.6% over a median of 8.0 months.
