A patient with end-stage renal disease on CAPD, and with massive iron overload is reported. This patient had evidence of myocardial and hepatic damage probably as a result of iron overload. Treatment with desferoxamine resulted in removal of iron in the peritoneal dialysate. On the basis of preliminary studies in this patient it would appear that removal of iron by peritoneal dialysis in conjunction with chelation therapy is safe and effective. This finding should have wide-ranging signficance for patients with ESRD.
