Measurement of Creatinine in Peritoneal Dialysis Fluid

Reproducibility of serial creatinine excretion measurements in peritoneal dialysis

AIM To test whether muscle mass evaluated by creatinine excretion (EXCr) is maintained in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD), we evaluated repeated measurements of EXCr in a PD population. METHODS One hundred and sixty-six PD patients (94 male, 72 female) receiving the same PD dose for the duration of the study (up to approximately 2.5 years) had...

Hazard of peritoneal dialysis: contaminated fluid.

Comparison between creatinine-based equations for estimating total creatinine clearance in peritoneal dialysis: a multicentre study.

BACKGROUND It is crucial to assess the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis (PD) because of its influence on patient outcome. Collecting dialysate and urine for 24 h can be rather troublesome, so a simple and inexpensive alternative method for rapidly evaluating adequacy in PD would be very useful. Our study aimed to assess the performance of 12 different creatinine (Cr)-based equations commonly use...

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...
