GASTROSTOMY TUBE FEEDING IN CHILDREN ON CAPD

Leo Levin, J. Williamson Balfe, Denis Geary, David Wesson and Brian Steele

From the Department of Paediatrics, Division of Nephrology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada.

Inadequate dietary intake contributes to the growth failure seen in children on CAPD. From 1982 to 1986, seven children received supplemental feeding via gastrostomy tube. No increased frequency of peritonitis was noted in six of these. Generally the gastrostomy tubes were well tolerated. Gastrostomy tube feeding is a safe, practical way to provide supplemental nutrition to pediatric patients on CAPD.

KEY WORDS: CAPD; Gastrostomy tube; Supplemental feeding; Growth failure.
