Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is in widespread use for the treatment of
acute and chronic renal failure. A considerable amount of knowledge
about the various procedures and problems associated with this form
of treatment has accumulated over recent years, particularly since
the introduction of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD). However to date the information regarding the more
technical or practical aspects of PD has been largely scattered in
various books and journals. There appears to be no straightforward
text concerned with these points suitable for recommending to
junior doctors or nurses dealing with patients receiving this
therapy. Though in-house-training is of considerable value it takes
time and I have noticed that on a number of occasions in our own
unit, technical problems with PD have not been dealt with quickly
because of lack of knowledge in the staff on duty. There thus
appeared to me to be a need for a short book giving firm advice on
how to perform the various procedures and how to deal with problems
as they arose. This manual is an attempt to fulfil that aim.
Initially it was tried and tested on the renal unit in the Cardiff
Royal Infirmary for 3 years. Prior to publishing it has been
extensively revised and updated.
