Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis and Renal Transplantation: A Ten-Year Experience in a Single Center

Abstract

Excellent graft and patient survival is achieved independent of the modality of dialysis prior to transplantation. Peritoneal dialysis can be used postgrafting, but there is a risk of peritonitis, which can be successfully managed with antibiotics and catheter removal. Great care is needed in executing the dialysis and catheter care after transplantation.
