| description | Thirty-one patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were offered continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) at the Dammam Central Hospital, Dammam, Saudi Arabia over a period of five years. The group included 21 women and 10 men with a mean age of 41.3 ± 17.2 years. The main indication for CAPD was poor or failed vascular access (51.4%). Peritonitis remained the major complication with an overall incidence of 0.62 episode per patient year. <i> Staphylococcus epidermidis </i> was the main causative organism. Therapy with CAPD lasted a mean of 26 ± 7.4 months. Our results, showing good technique survival and low peritonitis rate, suggest that CAPD should be promoted to become a full arm of the integrated care of ESRD in Saudi Arabia. |
