Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis CAPD

Primary peritonitis generally is caused by a single organism (.Staphylococcus aureus in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and Escherichia coli in patients with cirrhosis). 

O Primary peritonitis develops in up to 25% of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis.3 Patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) average one episode of peritonitis every 2 years.4 Secondary peritonitis may be caused by perforation of a peptic ulcer traumatic perforation of the stomach, small or large bowel, uterus, or urinary bladder appendicitis pancreatitis diverticulitis bowel infarction inflammatory bowel disease cholecystitis operative contamination of the peritoneum or diseases of the female genital tract such as septic abortion, postoperative uterine infection, endometritis, or salpingitis. Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of intraabdominal infection. In 1998, 278,000 appendectomies were performed in the United States for suspected appendicitis.5... 

Intraperitoneal (IP) administration of antibiotics is preferred over IV therapy in the treatment of peritonitis that occurs in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) recently revised its guidelines for the diagnosis and pharmacotherapy of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated infections.24 The guidelines provide dosing recommendations for intermittent and continuous therapy based on the modality of dialysis [CAPD or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD)] and the extent of the patient s residual renal function. 

Elevated Lp(a) levels were reported in patients with various forms of renal failure and under treatments like hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (B28, Cll, H5, K2, K5, M34, P4, P6, S8, T2, W8). After renal transplantation and CAPD, Lp(a) concentrations are reported to de-... 

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was found at concentrations ranging from 0.8 to 4.2 mg/L serum in 17 haemodialysis patients after dialysis and 0.1-0.9 mg/L in four of seven continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. In three of the CAPD patients and in all of the predialysis patients, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was not detected (< 0.1 mg/L) in no case could the hydrolysis product mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate be detected (< 0.4 mg/L) (Nassbeiger et al., 1987).

There is increased sensitivity to vitamin D in patients who are undergoing renal dialysis and who have an abnormal calcium/phosphorus ratio. Patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) who develop secondary hyperparathyroidism may already have low bone turnover or adynamic bone lesions, and if treated indiscriminately with calcitriol their low bone turnover can get worse (62). 

Lo KY et al [7] reported one patient with mild intoxication who improved maintaining previous treatment (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis - CAPD). 

In continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), approximately 21 of dialysate solution is infused into the patient s peritoneal cavity, and is exchanged with new dialysate about four times each day. The patient need not stay in bed, as with ordinary hemodialysis, but it is difficult to continue CAPD for many years due to the formation of peritoneal adhesions. 

For an attempt to actually evaluate patient utilities in a clinical setting, the reader might be interested in Bass et al. (2004). The authors surveyed, 109 patients on hemodialysis therapy, 5 7 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and 22 patients on continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) (p. 695). They found that whereas many patients would be prepared to increase their dose to increase survival chances, few would be prepared to change the modality of treatment. 

Chronic renal insufficiency is treated by different forms of hemodialysis, hemofiltration, or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). All patients have low HDL levels but show a relative increase in A-I. This condition may be called hyperapoalphalipoproteinemia.
