Abstract
In France the first peritoneal dialysis was performed in the mid-1940s. For a long time reserved for frail subjects in whom hemodialysis appeared more dangerous, it is considered nowadays as a technique equivalent to hemodialysis, provided its indications and contraindications are respected and associated with the respect of the patient’s free choice after objective information. In particular, there is now a consensus to recognize its interest in patients waiting for transplantation, usually in order to preserve vascular access. Over the past decades French teams have played their role nationally and internationally, very often in partnership with their European neighbors, to improve the results achieved and to improve the different modalities. Since the end of the 1980s, the evaluation of practices has been made possible thanks to the participation in a specialized peritoneal dialysis registry.This article is a general review, not exhaustive, of the role played by the main French teams who succeeded one another.

En dehors des avancées reprises ci-dessus, de nombreux travaux ont été publiés par les équipes françaises de 1980 à ce jour, ce qui a contribué à la fois à une meilleure compréhension de la physiologie de la dialyse péritonéale (DP), de ses complications et son amélioration : une diminution du risque infectieux, le talon d’Achille de la DP dans les années ‘80 était la fréquence des péritonites, qui était d’environ un épisode tous les 3 à 6 mois

Summary
In France the first peritoneal dialysis was performed in the mid-1940s. For a long time reserved for frail subjects in whom hemodialysis appeared more dangerous, it is considered nowadays as a technique equivalent to hemodialysis, provided its indications and contraindications are respected and associated with the respect of the patient’s free choice after objective information. La DP n’était alors utilisée que pour l’insuffisance rénale aiguë et de nombreux articles ont été publiés par l’équipe de Derot au cours des années suivantes.
