During the past decade, there has been a renaissance of interest in
the use of peritoneal dialysis as a primary dialytic modality for
the treatment of children with end stage renal disease (ESRD). The
development of the technique of continuous ambulatory peritoneal
dialysis (CAPD) and continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD)
has markedly changed the approach to children requiring dialytic
therapy. The availability of these techniques has facilitated
prolonged dialysis in infants and has for the first time given
pediatric nephro logists in many areas of the world an opportunity
to consider dialysis in chil dren afflicted with ESRD. I have
enlisted the collaboration of colleagues from Europe, South
America, Canada, and the United States in compiling this
multidisciplinary text, which hopefully contains the most
up-to-date, comprehensive information regarding the use of
CAPD/CCPD in children. It is my hope that every nephrologist
(pediatric and adult); nephrology nurse (pediatric and adult);
nephrology tech nician, or allied health professional dealing with
children who require these therapeutic modalities will be able to
resolve immediately any confounding clinical or technical issues
that arise by using the information contained in this text.
Demographic data on the use of CAPD/CCPD in children in Europe is
provided from the EDTA Registry and in the United States from the
National Peritoneal Dialysis Registry. The particular problems
encountered in the use xiii xiv Preface of CAPD in children in
developing countries is detailed by Dr. Grunberg and his colleagues
in Uruguay."
