Objective: The observation of the clinical effects of treatment of acute and chronic renal failure in children on Continuous ambulatory Peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and were treated with CAPD.

Methods: 19 children with renal failure on CAPD were considered in this study.

Results: The average time of dialysis of 18 cases on CAPD is (34.5±8.01) days. Of 18 cases, sixteen survived during the hospitalzation, two died. Two cases with chronic renal failure continued CAPD at home after drischarge from the hospital. One of whom stopped CAPD and died; another is still on CAPD at home. Concentration of serum potassium of 18 cases returned to normal level during the first 24~48 hours of dialysis, carbon dioxide combining power returned to normal level after 48~72 hours. Reduction of serum nitrogen and creatnine was respectively 52.2% and 40.2% after five to ten days of dialysis. Symptoms of uremia disappeared or decreased.

Conclusion: CAPD is safe and effective in these patients with acute and chronic renal failure.
