Abstract
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is an alternative kidney replacement therapy besides Hemodialysis (HD). CAPD can only perform on stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who have received HD training also to be able to carry out CAPD. In Indonesia, CAPD patients only reach 2% of all PKG 5 patients undergoing routine dialysis. The CAPD discontinuation rate with various causes, including death, is still high (86%). The medico-legal aspect in patients with kidney failure covers the patient's right to get compensation for losses suffered due to doctor negligence during the CAPD procedure. Medical negligence can occur during a Tenckhoff catheter (intraperitoneal) installation, training that is not optimal, distribution of CAPD fluid, monitoring, and follow-up for peritonitis treatment. The lawsuit suing the medical practice is a breach of contract according to article 1239 of the Civil Code, or according to article 1265 of the Civil Code, is an act against the law that causes harm. The existence of criminal liability in the form of actions that meet the elements of a criminal act, such as negligence that causes death to a patient, can be subject to Article 359 of the Criminal Code.
