RENAL TRANSPLANTATION IN CHILDREN TREATED WITH CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

Constantinos J. Stefanidis, J. Williamson Balfe, Gerald S. Arbus, Brian E. Hardy, Bernard M. Churchill and C. Phillip Rance

From the Divisions of Nephrology and Urology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario

Over the last three years 23 children, who were managed by CAPD at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto received a renal transplant. Their actuarial graft survival was similar to those of children on hemodialysis and to patients not dialyzed before transplantation. In addition, we analyzed the actuarial graft survival of 130 children treated before transplantation with peritoneal dialysis (IPD and CAPD), hemodialysis or no dialysis to determine the long-term effects of peritoneal dialysis. Again, we found no significant differences among the various groups. Posttransplantation complications in the CAPD patients included fungal peritonitis in one and ascites in seven.
