In the 6 years before this paper, all children presenting with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) in Northern Ireland were electively commenced on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). In that period, 22 patients were treated, 16 received renal transplants and 6 remained on CAPD. Active treatment was withdrawn in 1 child due to obliterative peritonitis. There were no deaths. One incident of peritonitis was documented per 11.6 patient treatment months. Recurring peritonitis lead to catheter replacement in 3 patients. Other problems encountered were catheter exit site infections, hernia formation and in one instance, hydrothorax. Peritonitis was more common in children under 2 years of age as was undernutrition, growth retardation and developmental delay. Home CAPD can be recommended as a viable first option treatment for childhood ESRF where suitable haemodialysis facilities are not easily accessible.
