SURVEY OF CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, 1982

Ram Gokal* and Frank P. Marsh**

* Consultant Nephrologist, Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester. ** Consultant Nephrologist, The London Hospital, London.

Forty-one adult renal units undertaking continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in the United Kingdom answered a questionnaire about available facilities and their own practices. The responses suggest that many units are struggling with unsatisfactory environmental facilities and inadequate staff. Working methods, diagnostic facilities and therapeutic policies varied considerably from unit to unit. We need more information about the influence of such variables on the results of CAPD and its complications, particularly peritonitis.

KEY WORDS: Facilities for CAPD; peri tonitis; patient selection.
