Abstract In 29 cases of chronic renal failure 1325 peritoneal dialyses were performed between January 1, 1976 and April 31, 1978. The technique of peritoneal dialysis, the general lines of supervision and follow-up, the results and shortcomings of the procedure are discussed. Peritoneal dialysis is regarded as an alternative to haemodialysis in chronic renal failure. On ground of the favourable observations, organization of satellite PD services on a large scale, parallel with the expansion of other services (haemodialysis, renal transplantation), is advocated.
