- Abstract
Serum oxalate is easily controlled in patients with chronic renal failure not yet on dialysis by dietary protein restriction but poorly controlled by both haemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). In the control of serum oxalate in chronic renal failure dietary protein restriction is effective in the pre-dialysis patient whereas both CAPD and haemodialysis are relatively inefficient in end-stage renal failure.
