  • Title: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in small children with acute renal failure.
    Author: Abbad FC, van Amstel SL.
    Journal: Proc Eur Dial Transplant Assoc; 1983; 19():607-13. PubMed ID: 6878259.
    Abstract:
    In the period January 1980 to January 1982 five small children with acute renal failure were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) to overcome the catabolic state of the anuric stage. A free diet was allowed during this period except for slight restriction in fluid intake. Weight gain was only observed in one child, whereas in the others no significant change of body weight was noticed. CAPD treatment was terminated as renal function improved and a creatinine clearance of 20 ml/min/1.73m2 was achieved.
