Metabolic disturbances in CAPD patients

Adv Perit Dial. 1991:7:243-6.

Abstract

CAPD is not a physiological condition. The continuous absorption of glucose from the dialysate and the losses of nutrients like protein in it may cause many metabolic abnormalities. This review deals with some effects of CAPD on carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism.
