... years, I deal only with shaded areas of this dialytic modality, such as the limitation of good candidates for CAPD, dysfunction of the peritoneal membrane, infectious complications, metabolic abnormalities and psychological stress. My conclusion is that CAPD is one of transient replacement therapies...

...Siska Mortier; An S. De Vriese; Norbert Lameire This paper reviews some important recent findings on the molecular biology of the peritoneal membrane. It attempts to correlate in vitro and in vivo experimental results with the possible clinical consequences. The most common functional alteration...
