I created a database in MS Access for recording my CAPD exchanges, but was wondering if there was specifically any software made for this purpose? Any software geared to the PD patient?

I'm not aware of any that can record your CAPD information. If you do go to the APD cycler, they have a card that can keep track of your exchanges in the machine. You bring this card to your visit and the nurse should be able to look at all your data about the exchanges on their computer. Check to see if your unit has this capabilty if you chose to use the cycler.

As "guest" posted, machines used for automated peritoneal dialysis have cards in them that track treatments. A program developed by Baxter called RenalSoft helps physicians monitor their patients who have kidney damage but aren't on dialysis as well as patients on HD and PD.

I am not aware of any software that has been developed for CAPD patients to help them track their treatments, their vital signs, their labs, etc. and I couldn't find anything for CAPD patients in an Internet search. You might talk with your home dialysis nurse and see if she can talk with colleagues that use other companies' supplies to see if there is anything. If not and you're interested in developing something, ask PD patients what would help them do a better job of managing their PD. Anything that could help patients manage their health better would be much appreciated by patients and professionals alike.

I emailed my PD Database to a couple of people. I would like to know what you thought of it and how I could improve it.

I will probably be making a version 2.0 when I start CCPD next week.

Thanks!
