Abstract :
The ideal form of renal replacement therapy in a case of scleroderma-related end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a subject of debate. Difficulty in creating a vascular access makes hemodialysis (HD) a difficult proposition and despite suboptimal graft survival, kidney transplant has been advocated as the best form of renal replacement therapy. [1] We report a case of scleroderma-related ESRD with good outcome on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) at 15-months of follow-up.
