A total of 15 children (9 boys and 6 girls) with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) received PD for a mean duration of 9 +/- 8.6 months; 11 children received continuous ambulatory dialysis (CAPD) and four received automated PD. The mean age of the children at the start of PD was 7.3 +/- 4.3 years. All the children had low socio-economic status. The most common complication was peritonitis (53%) followed by exit site infection (26.6%). The overall rate of peritonitis was one episode per 5.9 patients treatment months. Five children had recurrent peritonitis. Gram negative bacteria were the cause of peritonitis in 43.5% of the cases, gram positive in 30.4%, fungi in 8.9% and unknown in 17.4%. PD catheters were removed in five children; four because of infection and one because of obstruction. Three children were shifted to hemodialysis permanently, two children received renal transplantation from living donors and five children died. There was no difference in the age, duration of therapy or number of siblings, between the eight children who had peritonitis and the seven children who did not have peritonitis. However, illiteracy was higher and a separate room was less available in the peritonitis group compared to the peritonitis free group (37.5% vs 14.3% and 50% vs 100%, respectively). In conclusion; PD may still be a suitable modality of renal replacement therapy for children living in low socioeconomic conditions despite the challenging problems in them.  ردمد : 1319-1004  اسم الدورية : Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl.  المجلد : 3  العدد : 16  سنة النشر : 2005 هـ 2005 م  نوع المقالة : مقالة علمية  تاريخ الاضافة على الموقع : Wednesday, March 10, 2010  الباحثون اسم الباحث (عربي) اسم الباحث (انجليزي) نوع الباحث المرتبة العلمية البريد الالكتروني جميلة قاري Kari, Jameela باحث دكتوراه   الملفات اسم الملف النوع الوصف  25858.doc doc   الرجوع إلى صفحة الأبحاث
