In order to evaluate precisely the place of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in the treatment of chronic renal failure, it is important to find out whether this method may produce complications, mostly infectious, after renal transplantation. From April, 1979 to December, 1983, 419 renal transplantations were performed in our centre; 17 of these patients had previously been treated with peritoneal dialysis over a mean 13.5 months period, with 3.2 peritonitis/patient. The peritoneal catheter was left in situ for 4 to 16 weeks post-graft, so that the patients could easily be dialysed if needed; it was removed during transplantation in the only 3 cases of recent peritonitis. The only complications noted after transplantation were an episode of spontaneously reversible ascites and a peritoneal breach following reintervention on the renal region. This homogeneous series confirms that continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis does not constitute a contra-indication, let alone an obstacle, to subsequent renal transplantation. Indeed, it may be regarded as the first-choice method for patients in whom early grafting is envisaged on account of their immune status.
