    Abstract:
    In Japan CAPD in cases of renal transplantation used to be feared because of CAPD peritonitis occurring under conditions of immunosuppression. We experienced two cases of CAPD with renal transplantation. Case 1 was a 27-year-old woman who underwent living related renal transplantation on March 7, 1986 after 4 months CAPD without CAPD peritonitis. In this patient the CAPD catheter was removed on the 17th POD with a good graft function. Case 2 was a 38-year-old woman who underwent living related renal transplantation on November 8, 1985. The graft deteriorated due to acute rejection and ALG allergy. On February 1, 1986 the graft was removed after insertion of a CAPD catheter. The patient began CAPD. Therefore, CAPD was found to be a safe procedure for renal transplantation. Our policy concerning CAPD for renal transplantation is as follows: A patient should not be transplanted for 1 month after successful treatment of an episode of peritonitis. After renal transplantation the catheter is removed on completion of the transplantation procedure in cases of two haploidentical living related transplants and electively 2-12 weeks after renal transplantation in cases of one haploidentical living related transplant or cadaveric transplants. The CAPD catheter is used again when there is temporary or permanent graft failure.
