With the in- troduction of commercial dialysate-containing plastic bags, which mark- edly reduced the incidence of peritonitis, the use of CAPD as a primary treatment modality has increased significantly. At the present time, more than 12% of the patients undergoing dialysis in the United States are utiliz- ing CAPD; however, the use of CAPD among pediatric patients is con- siderably greater. The First International Symposium on CAPD in Children was orga- nized in order to gather together experts with experience in treating chil- dren undergoing CAPD in an attempt to exchange current information on the utilization of this emerging technique in children. Since pediatric pa- tients comprise a small percentage of the CAPD population and since lim- ited data were available concerning specific methodology and complica- tions of CAPD in children, it was hoped that an international symposium would provide a forum for an exchange of experience that would ultimate- ly lead to better adaptation and increased utilization of this technique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282036023447,"sku":"9783642702150","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642702150.webp?v=1769300956","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/capd-in-children-first-international-symposium-on-capd-in-children-held-may-14-15-1984-at-heidelberg-germany-9783642702150","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
