Primary enuresis is essentially of two main types - the common diurnal-nocturnal type with associated bladder instability and the less common nocturnal type which shows normal cystometry. The importance of depth of sleep in both types is stressed, particularly the former. A rationale of treatment, self-monitored, voluntary, escalating cystometry, is described.

Our experience of CAPD in 21 patients over a total period of 118 patients months has been evaluated and compared with intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD). CAPD was associated with greater clearance of urea creatinine and phosphate, higher concentrations of haemoglobin, improved control of hypertension and saline overload, and better patient acceptance than IPD. It is concluded that CAPD is an effective form of dialysis with many advantages over IPD, although the incidence of peritonitis is still twice that IPD.
