Fluid state and blood pressure control: no differences between APD and CAPD.

The aim of this study was to compare fluid state, ambulatory blood pressure, and sodium removal in automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This observational, cross-sectional study comprised 20 APD and 24 CAPD patients with a mean duration on peritoneal dialysis of 30 ± 26 and 21 ± 23 months, respectively. Sixty-four percent of the patients were treated with icodextrin.
