The purpose of this work is to assess EPD in ARF patients who have suffered rhabdomyolysis. In preparation for Tenckhoff catheter insertion dialysis exchanges through a stylet catheter were used every 30 minutes; after implantation of the Tenckhoff catheter we started 2L of solution with six four-hour exchanges. Dialysis was discontinued after 16 days on average when patients had a urinary volume of over one litre in 24 hours.
Results allow us to conclude that EPD is an adequate method of treatment for ARF due to rhabdomyolysis.
