COMPARISON OF CHANGE IN PERITONEAL FUNCTION IN PATIENTS ON CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PD VS AUTOMATED PD

摘要

Background: Patients on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) may have greater exposure to glucose in the PD fluid than those on continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD). If this causes long-term damage to the peritoneal membrane, it will have implications for a patient's choice of modality.
