Abstract: AIM: To compare the advantages and disadvantages between hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis ( CAPD) in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy with uremia. METHODS: The survival rate, main complications, and the cause of death were compared between 61 cases of diabetic nephropathy with uremia received CAPD and 48 cases received HD. RESULTS: The patients with cardiovascular disease, and retinopathy, or age >70 years before dialysis, treated by CAPD, had less complications and higher life quality in comparison with HD. CONCLUSIONS: CAPD is suitable for the patients of diabetic nephropathy with uremia, system arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular instability, and retinopathy, or age >60 years.

Key words: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, diabetic nephropathy with uremia
