| [ Summary ] | A system of education and patient care in patients undergoing CAPD in community-based hospital was introduced. CAPD was selected in 21% of ESRD-patient for the dialysis modality. This rate is extremely high comparing an average rate of CAPD in an annual report of total dialysis population by JSDT. The key of success is provided by not only an intensive education and care system in the hospital but also total cooperated support by a visiting nurse, a care manager and a CAPD nurse in the hospital after returning to home.
