The evolution of renal osteodystrophy in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).

Abstract
Since the introduction of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis by Popovich et al [1] and the subsequent modification of the technique by Oreopoulos et al [2], an increasing number of patients with end-stage renal disease are maintained on this new treatment modality. To date, there has not been any report of the effect of CAPD on the evolution of renal osteodystrophy which is one of the major complications of chronic renal failure. In this report we will present the results of our radiological and biochemical studies of renal osteodystrophy in 28 patients who have been on CAPD from 6 to 23 months.
