| Abstract | The experience of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in children at the Queen Mary Hospital for the past 11 years was reviewed. Seven boys and three girls (aged 4.3 to 15.9 years) were treated for a mean of 27 months (range five to 58 months). There was significant biochemical improvement and patients led an active lifewhile undergoing treatment. The commonest complications were peritonitis, which occurred on average once every 10 patient-months and were mostly due to Staphylococcus spp. |
