Two cases with chronic renal failure continued CAPD at home after drischarge from the hospital. One of whom stopped CAPD and died; another is still on CAPD at home. Concentration of serum potassium of 18 cases returned to normal level during the first 24~48 hours of dialysis, carbon dioxide combining power returned to normal level after 48~72 hours. Reduction of serum nitrogen and creatnine was respectively 52.2% and 40.2% after five to ten days of dialysis. Symptoms of uremia disappeared or decreased.
