Abstract
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis has been demonstrated to be a successful dialysis therapy for those patients who are emotionally, socially, and intellectually capable of safely performing the self-dialysis technique. Rapid expansion of the procedure, modification of the technique to reduce the incidence of peritonitis, development of experienced personnel and adequate funding by the government can serve to increase the home dialysis population, save tax dollars and free patients from the requirement of machine dialysis.Keywords
