To investigate the effect of peritoneal dialysis on fluid balance and outcome in childrenwho receive cardiac operation.Methods. From July to Dec. 2000, 12(2.08%) patients of 576 consecutive children who underwentheart operation required peritoneal dialysis because of acute renal failure. The mean age of these 12 pa-tients was (2.9±2.0) years (range, 5 months～7 years) and the mean body weight was (12±3) kg (range,7.4～18.5 kg ).Results. The interval between the operation and the initiation of peritoneal dialysis was (21.2±11.4)hours (4.4～42 hours). The duration of peritoneal dialysis was (6.3±4.8) days (0.47～15 days). Mortality inthese 12 patients was 25%. Fluid removed by peritoneal dialysis was(34.7±17.8) ml@kg1@day-1@ Asymop-tomatic hypokalemia, thrombocytopenia and hyperglycemia were frequent complications, which were easilymanaged. Hemodynamics and pulmonary function improved during the study period.Conclusion. The early initiation of peritoneal dialysis is an effective and safe method totreat acute renal failure after cardiac operation in children.展开更多
