  • Title: [Treatment of chronic renal insufficiency: hemodialysis at a center or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis? Comparative retrospective study of the success of both methods].
    Author: Marichal JF, Faller B, Brignon P, Cordier B, Hedelin G.
    Journal: Nephrologie; 1991; 12(2):67-70. PubMed ID: 1944758.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective study, the authors analyse the dialysis-technique success rate in 276 chronic renal patients. 137 patients have been treated with in-center Hemodialysis (CHD) since 1972, 139 patients with Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) since 1978. The 6-year technic success rate reaches 28% in CAPD and 31% in CHD (not statistically significant). The risk factors influence the technic-success rate of both methods in the same way. The results suggest that in the analysed patients CAPD is at least as effective as CHD at maintenance in the technic.
