Abstract
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is becoming the treat ment of choice for many diabetics with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Hy pertension is better controlled, neu ropathy and vascular calcifications re mains stable or improve, and few dietary or fluid restrictions are necessary. It is estimated that about 20% of all patients with ESRD will be using CAPD by 1985.
