The technique of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for treatment of chronic renal failure was discussed. Clinical experience with CAPD in patients and metabolic changes were described. The technique minimized cardiovascular stress and was preferred for elderly patients and others who desire home dialysis but live alone.Keywords
