    Author: Michel C, Dosquet P, Viron B, Mignon F.
    Journal: Nephrologie; 1989; 10 Suppl():15-7. PubMed ID: 2682306.
    Abstract:
    A decade after its first introduction, the advantages and drawbacks of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis over hemodialysis remain controversial. This present paper is a review of the literature, focused on the indications of this dialysis modality in different circumstances: extra-renal pathology, systemic diseases (lupus erythematosus--diffuse scleroderma--plasma cell disorders--amyloidosis--HIV infected patients) and complications related to hemodialysis.
