|
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) has now become an established form of renal replacement therapy in children. Despite of technical improvements, there are various complications in CAPD. We reviewed, medical records of children who received CAPD at Seoul National University Children’s Hospital in the period between May 1991 and June 2002. Ninety-three procedures of CAPD catheter insertion in 70 patients were included in this study. Complication rate was 64.5%, and CAPD catheter related peritonitis was most common. In conclusion. CAPD catheter related peritonitis develops in considerable number of pediatric patients. Although the perilonitis could be treated with empirical antibiotics therapy, further investigation to prevent complication is required.
