Bioimpedance Guided Fluid Management in Peritoneal Dialysis

Article Bioimpedance-Guided Fluid Management in Hemodialysis Patients

Design, setting, participants, & measurements Fluid status was optimized prospectively in 55 chronic hemodialysis patients over 3 months (November 2011 to February 2012). Predialysis fluid overload was measured weekly using the Fresenius Body CompositionMonitor. Time-averaged fluid overload was calculated as the average between preand postdialysis fluid overload. The study aimed to bring the ti...

La,dialyse peritoneale constitue une methode d,epuration extra-renale simple,efficqCe et d,un prix de revient modere.  La dialyse peritoneale,ne necestite aueune­instalation complexe,peut-etre consideree comme une methode de reanimation non specialisedont la vulga­rosation doit permettre:  De traiter surplace d,une maniere intensive et prophylactique les nombreuses insuffisances renales aiPue...

Hazard of peritoneal dialysis: contaminated fluid.

Peritoneal fluid titer test for peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis.

Standard microbiological tests (i.e., MIC) do not account for the unique factors of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis which can significantly influence treatment response. Our goals were to develop a peritoneal fluid titer (PFT) test and to conduct a pilot study of its association with clinical outcome. The methodology was developed by using spent dialysate collected from patients wi...

Glucose and Insulin Response to Peritoneal Dialysis Fluid in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

A postprandial increase in blood glucose in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with diabetes was observed in our previous study using continuous blood glucose monitoring. The response was observed in diabetic but not in nondiabetic PD patients. In addition, the response was reduced when patients used icodextrin; glucose absorbed from the peritoneum was responsible for the postprandial increase i...
