Abstract
We describe our experience at the Booth Memorial Medical Center with the development and growth of a Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis program. This initial experience includes the training and close follow-up of 41 patients with End Stage Renal Disease over a period of 15 months. The status of our program with respect to medical complications encountered and their management is described. Our results, in terms of biochemical control, success with training, and patient satisfaction with CAPD are outlined.
