Abstract
Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), with advantages including hemodynamic stability, no need for anticoagulation, strong volume control and solute removal ability, simple operation, safe and easy, and significantly improving quality of life, is especially suitable for patients with high or high-average peritoneal transport, insufficient clearance of solutes in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), or recurrent peritonitis in CAPD. Moreover, APD can serve as an emergent dialysis mode suitable for acute kidney injury (AKI), urgent dialysis of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), refractory congestive heart failure, poisoning, acute pancreatitis, hyperpyrexia or hypothermia, hepatic failure, temporary dialysis during postoperative period of herniorrhaphy in peritoneal dialysis patients, and a new route of drug administration and liquid infusion. Besides, APD is an ideal renal replacement therapy for ESRD children. Key words: Automated peritoneal dialysis; Acute kidney injury; End-stage renal disease; Refractory congestive heart failure
