Peritonitis 01/01/1995 - "We conclude, therefore, that the UltraBag system is highly effective in reducing the incidence of peritonitis in CAPD patients." 04/01/1983 - "Improved catheters and further reductions in the incidence of peritonitis will most likely result in a decreased number of patients who withdraw from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis therapy." 01/01/1996 - "Therefore, the ET test of the dialysate is very effective for the therapy of peritonitis in CAPD." 01/01/1995 - "Recent changes in CAPD techniques, particularly the introduction of the UltraBag system, have resulted in a marked decrease in peritonitis rates in CAPD patients. " 01/01/1980 - "Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis without wearing a bag: complete freedom of patient and significant reduction of peritonitis."
2.	Chronic Kidney Failure (Chronic Renal Failure) 12/01/1985 - "Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis best treatment for end-stage renal disease." 05/01/1996 - "The excellent patient and technique survival rates indicate that CAPD is an effective treatment for children with end-stage renal disease in Japan. " 11/01/1992 - "Although CAPD has proven beneficial in the initial treatment of large numbers of patients with ESRD, there is concern about the adequacy of CAPD as long-term therapy for many patients. " 01/01/2004 - "Our findings suggest that CAD is frequent in ESRD patients, a dialysis therapy of 12 months can cause significant improvement on CAD and the ameliorative effect of CAPD is better than HD." 06/01/1997 - "Is CAPD an effective treatment for ESRD patients with a weight over 80 kg?"
3.	Infection 02/01/2005 - "Only in patients on hemodialysis or chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was a significant reduction of the infection rate found. " 01/01/1997 - "A study of the efficacy of dressings in preventing infections of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter exit sites." 01/01/2008 - "The patient was completely cured of the infection and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) fluid became clear after 2 weeks of treatment.

"
4.	Anemia 07/01/1983 - "Previous report on improvement in anemia most likely reflected the smaller loss of blood during CAPD compared with hemodialysis." 07/01/1989 - "In conclusion, CAPD was known to be not always effective for the increment of Hb and Ht, while r-HuEPO was very effective for the improvement of severe anemia in CAPD patients which enabls them to lead better social life for them." 10/01/1997 - "once a week is effective for children with anemia on CAPD but is insufficient for children on HD." 01/01/1993 - "Subcutaneous rHuEPO is effective in reversing anemia in HD and CAPD patients, but it takes longer to correct anemia in HD with the same initial SC rHuEPO low dose. " 01/01/1992 - "Subcutaneous rHuEPO is effective in correcting anemia in CAPD patients. "
5.	Acidosis 05/01/1996 - "These results demonstrate that optimal correction of acidosis in CAPD is beneficial in terms of protein turnover." 01/01/1995 - "These results suggest that the optimized formulation is effective in improving nutritional parameters in CAPD patients while avoiding unwanted side-effects such as acidosis." 01/01/1993 - "A CAPD bicarbonate solution is effective in uremic acidosis correction, does not affect dialysis adequacy, is safe, and well tolerated." 10/01/1997 - "The aim of this study was to assess the possible benefits, in the nutritional state and morbidity, of improved correction of acidosis in the first year of treatment with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). " 01/01/2005 - "Our study suggested that CAPD patients with better RRF were more susceptible to metabolic acidosis, which was characterized by normal anion gap and hyperchloremia. "
