Popis: Experience with CAPD in 14 patients, treated for periods of 2–10 months, is presented. Clinical and biochemical control of uremia appeared adequate in all patients except one. Control of extracellular volume and hypertension was easier with CAPD than with intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD). Nine episodes of peritonitis occurred in 5 patients (one peritonitis/8 patients months). Mean protein loss was 9.7 ± 2.7 g per day. In 6 patients on IPD oral glucose tolerance test resulted in a paradoxical rise of HGH, whereas this was not observed after 4 months of CAPD.
