<br/><br/> The prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children has steadily increased in recent years. Although successful kidney transplantation remains  the treatment of choice, more than three fourth of children require chronic dialysis while awaiting transplantation for periods ranging from a few months to several years. Either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis which may be acute or  chronic, and in cases of the latter a permanent peritoneal catheter is fixed under general anesthesia. There are two main types for CPD, Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis  and Continuous Cycler-Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis where a machine is used to fill the abdomen, not the patient himself. The aims of this study were to summarize our experience including the complication and the outcome with  CPD in children
