Abstract

We evaluated the pulmonary functions ( PFs) in CAPD children and the effect of dialysis fluid ( DF) on pulmonary function in CAPD children. PF tests were performed in ten children( 7 females, 3 males; mean age 14.6 years; mean duration of CAPD 23.8 months; mean peritonitis rate 9.1 months/ attack ) and results were compared to the values of 10 healthy children. We measured forced expiratory volume in one second ( FEV1 ), forced vital capacity ( FVC), peak expiratory flow ( PEF), total lung capacity ( TLC) , residual volume ( RV), expiratory residual volume ( ERV) and functional residual capacity ( FRC) in the absence and presence of DF with 3.86 % glucose ( 50 ml/ kg body weight) in the abdomen. SPSS program was used for statistical analysis. Respiratory function parameters did not show any significant variation in the presence and absence of DF ( p > 0.05). However, some parameters had recovery in empty abdomen. FVC (82 % vs 100%), FEV1(91 %vs 110%), TLC( 72% vs 92%), and FRC (73%, 99%) were significantly lower in the patients with full abdomen than healthy controls. FEV1(90 % vs 110%), ERV (78 %, 115%), and TLC (77%, 92%) were significantly lower in the patients with empty abdomen than healthy controls.
We concluded that pulmonary function is reduced in CAPD children and an empty abdomen does not cause recovery completely.
