The authors report the result obtained with CAPD in 20 chronic renal patients treated during 4.6 years in average. The dialysis possibilities have maintained at middle term. Nevertheless, the awaited advantages concerning anemia, calcium and phosphorus disorders, neuropathy, are transient and incomplete. The water and sodium intakes need strongly to be controlled in order to achieve normal blood pressure. Finally the use of "Y" disconnect systems dramatically reduces the peritonitis rate.
