During the first four years of the CAPD programs in Toronto, 409 patients completed CAPD training; of these 64 (15.7%) were diahetics. The mean age of the diabetics was 46.7 and of the non-diabetics 51.4 years. One and two-year survival rates were not significantly different between the two groups (93%-82% for the non-diabetics and 90%-72% for the diabetics}. The main cause of death was cardiovascular events, in both groups. During the first year on CAPD, diabetics were transplanted at a higher rate than non-diabetics (20% vs.9%). The overall technique success rate, the rate of transfer to an alternative dialysis modality and the incidence of peritonitis were similar in the two groups. At least in the short -term, diabetics do well on CAPD. It is suggested that CAPD may be the dialysis modality of choice in diabetics with ESRD. |
