Peritoneal equilibration test
TLDR
Patients with rapid absorption of glucose have low drain water ultrafiltration volumes but higher creatinine clearances, and therefore need adjustment of the therapy plan or else should be on hemodialysis.Abstract:
7 men and 3 women (mean age 62 +/- 11 years) with end-stage renal disease, who were on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, underwent a peritoneal equilibration test to determine the rate of peritoneal ultrafiltration and creatinine transfer. The test is based on glucose absorption into the plasma from the peritoneal solution and the diffusion of creatinine into the peritoneal fluid after 2-4 hours. Patients with rapid absorption of glucose have low drain water ultrafiltration volumes but higher creatinine clearances, and therefore need adjustment of the therapy plan or else should be on hemodialysis. No correlation was found between the time the patients were on treatment and glucose absorption or creatinine diffusion.read more

Longitudinal changes in peritoneal kinetics: the effects of peritoneal dialysis and peritonitis
TL;DR: These data suggest that solute transfer increases and UF declines with time on peritoneal dialysis, and appears to be proportional to the degree of associated inflammation and number of infections in close proximity.

Peritoneal Glucose Exposure and Changes in Membrane Solute Transport with Time on Peritoneal Dialysis
TL;DR: In this selected group of long-term survivors on PD, an increase in solute transport with time was preceded by increased peritoneal exposure to hypertonic glucose, supportive evidence that hypertoni glucose may play a causative role in alterations in peritoneAL membrane function.

Quantifying comorbidity in peritoneal dialysis patients and its relationship to other predictors of survival
TL;DR: Comorbidity has a quantitative effect on survival that is independent of age, RRF and membrane function in PD patients, and appears to be associated with increased solute transport at the start of treatment, which is sustained.

Computer simulations of peritoneal fluid transport in CAPD.
TL;DR: It is suggested that computer modelling based on a three-pore model of membrane selectivity may be a useful tool for describing the IPV versus time relationships under various conditions in CAPD.

TL;DR: Close monitoring of volume status, a correct dialysis prescription adapted to the needs of the patient and dietary measures seem to be warranted to avoid hypervolemia in PD patients.

TL;DR: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been considered an optimal approach to this therapeutic goal, avoiding fluctuant volume status and benefiting from better homeostatic stability as mentioned in this paper.
