We report a case of a woman who became pregnant after two years on CAPD and with minor modifications of her dialysis technique and transfusions, carried the pregnancy to the stage of potential viability, 30 weeks. Suggested improvements in management are outlined.

CAPD continues to show promise as a continuous internal portable dialysis technique. Although unknown long-term problems may develop, it would seem at this time to offer an acceptable form of chronic dialysis for many patients.

In a retrospective study, the authors analysed the dialysis-technique success rate in 276 chronic renal patients. Of these, 137 patients have been treated with in center hemodialysis (CHD) from 1972 to 1989 and 139 with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) from 1978 to 1989. The six-year technique success rate was 28% in CAPD and 31% in CHD (statistically not significantly different). Various risk factors influence the technique-success rate of both methods in the same way. The results suggest that in our center CAPD is as effective as CHD in the treatment of patients with endstage renal failure.

Objective Previous studies have shown a decrease in serum magnesium (Mg) concentration when continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients previously maintained on a 1.0 –1.2 mEq/L Mg peritoneal dialysis solution (PDS) were dialyzed with a 0.5 mEq/L Mg PDS. However, the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in CAPD patients dialyzed with low-Mg PDS is unknown. Design A retrospective study to determine the prevalence of hypomagnesemia and the factors associated with its occurrence in CAPD patients dialyzed using a 0.5 mEq/L Mg PDS. Setting A CAPD unit in a large Veterans Affairs Hospital. Patients All our CAPD patients (33) enrolled over a 52month period. Results All patients had serum magnesium levels higher than 1.25 mEq/L prior to use of low-Mg PDS. Hypomagnesemia (serum Mg < 1.25 mEq/L) developed in 21/33 patients (64%) when a 0.5 mEq/L Mg PDS was employed. Hypomagnesemia developed a mean of 8.2 months after beginning treatments. The duration of dialysis and the number of episodes of peritonitis did not differ between patients with and those without hypomagnesemia. Serum albumin levels were significantly lower in patients with hypomagnesemia (2.5±0.12 g/dL vs 3.2±0.12, p < 0.01). Magnesium supplements were given to 13 patients; following this therapy, serum magnesium values became normal. Conclusions CAPD patients dialyzed with a 0.5 mEq/L Mg PDS may develop a considerable fall in serum magnesium level and may require magnesium supplements in order to restore normal serum values.

Infections associated with the use of intravascular devices have been documented and have been reported to be related to duration of catheter usage. Recently, Eaton et al. reported that Staphylococcus epidermidis may attach to silastic catheters used in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment. The following study presents findings using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of S. epidermidis adherence to silastic catheters in an in vitro model. In addition, sections of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) dialysis bags were also evaluated by SEM.The S. epidermidis strain RP62A which had been obtained in a previous outbreak of coagulase-negative staphylococcal sepsis at local hospitals was used in these experiments. The strain produced surface slime on exposure to glucose, whereas a nonadherent variant RP62A-NA, which was also used in these studies, failed to produce slime. Strains were grown overnight on blood agar plates at 37°C, harvested from the surface and resuspended in sterile saline (0.85%), centrifuged (3,000 rpm for 10 minutes) and then washed twice in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline at pH 7.0. Organisms were resuspended at a concentration of ca. 106 CFU/ml in: a) sterile unused dianeal at 4.25% dextrose, b) sterile unused dianeal at 1.5% dextrose, c) sterile used dialysate previously containing 4.25% dextrose taken from a CAPD patient, and d) sterile used dialysate previously containing 1.5% dextrose taken from a CAPD patient.
