Polycystic kidney disease is a relative contraindication for active treatment with peritoneal dialysis (PD). We have treated 10 end stage kidney disease patients with PD, 4 with intermittent PD and 6 with CAPD. PD was successful in most of these patients. The following complications recurred: a marked increase in arterial blood pressure occurred in one patient, epileptiform fits appeared three times in a patient due to hypocalcemia; renal cancer was documented in a patient after two months on PD. Our results support the view that in selected cases peritoneal dialysis could be successfully used in end-stage polycystic kidney disease.
