AB  - Peritoneal  dialysis  (PD)  is  an  established  form  of  renal  replacement  therapy  that  is  used  around  the  world.  The  concept  of  continuous  ambulatory  peritoneal  dialysis  (CAPD)  was  first  described  in  1976.  During  the  1980s  there  was  rapid  growth  in  the  utilization  of  CAPD  in  the  United  States  with  the  development  of  chronic  indwelling  PD  catheters  and  the  introduction  of  PD  solution  in  sterile,  disposable  plastic  bags.  In  the  1990s  there  was  a  rapid  increase  in  the  number  of  patients  on  automated  peritoneal  dialysis  (APD)  with  the  increased  interest  in  dialysis  adequacy  and  the  development  of  simplified,  automated  cycler  machines.  In  more  recent  years,  however,  the  growth  of  PD  has  decreased  in  the  United  States.  United  States  Renal  Data  System  (USRDS)  data  from  1998  to  2002  indicate  that  the  prevalent  PD  population  decreased  by  3.5%  per  year,  with  only  8%  of  prevalent  dialysis  patients  being  treated  with  PD  in  2002.  In  contrast  to  the  experience  in  the  United  States,  the  prevalent  number  of  patients  with  end-stage  renal  disease  receiving  PD  has  exceeded  60%  in  other  countries,  such  as  in  Mexico  and  Hong  Kong.  The  cause  for  these  differences  is  likely  multifactorial  and  is  related  to  access  to  PD,  physician  expertise,  patient  mix,  and  reimbursement.
