Peritoneal dialysis was performed in 16 renal-failure patients to study the necessity of complete drainage during the outflow period. Comparison between complete drainage (CD) and the accelerated inflow and limited outflow (AILO) showed no difference of drainage volume despite the accelerated outflow during the AILO period. It is postulated that the higher level of dialysate in the fluid line during the AILO period resulted in a relative increase availability of the outflow through the catheter perforations. In the CD period the peritoneal clearances of urea, creatinine and inulin were lower because of inefficient transport of these solutes during the outflow phase. The authors concluded that complete drainage is not necessary in intermittent peritoneal dialysis. During intermittent peritoneal dialysis, dialysate drainage volume usually is a major concern among medical and nursing staffs. Particularly during the initial exchange, dialysate frequently is retained because of a pocket of fluid in an inaccessible area of the peritoneal cavity (1). Thus, in subsequent exchanges considerable effort is made to stimulate drainage so as to avoid further accumulation. This prolongs outflow time and takes up the time and attention of paramedical personnel. The present study was done to evaluate the necessity of complete dialysate drainage in term of mechanics and efficiency of dialysis.

In peritoneal dialysis (PD), the peritoneum serves as a biological dialyzing membrane. The endothelium of the vast capillary network perfusing the peritoneum functions as a semipermeable membrane and allows bidirectional solute and water transfer between the intravascular space and dialysate fluid dwelling in the peritoneal cavity. PD is a renal replacement strategy for patients presenting with end-stage renal disease. It can also be offered for ultrafiltration in patients with diuretic-resistant fluid overload even in those without advanced renal failure. PD can also be used for patients with acute kidney injury, although in the developed world this occurs rarely compared to the use of extracorporeal therapies. This review contains 9 videos,  8 figures, 4 tables, and 73 references.  Keywords: peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal cavity, catheter, dialysis fluid, ultrafiltration, tunnel infection, osmotic pressure, renal failure

1. Twenty-three peritoneal dialyses with fluid containing 45 mEq lactate per litre were carried out on six patients with acute or chronic renal failure. During dialysis arterial blood pH and base excess rose. 2. The lactate ions were rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Blood lactate concentration rose, but in patients with adequate liver function it did not exceed the normal range. One patient with poor hepatic function and renal failure showed abnormally high blood lactate levels after peritoneal dialysis, but metabolic acidosis was still corrected. 3. The concentration of bicarbonate ions in the fluid drained from the peritoneal cavity rose as the dialysis progressed. A significant positive correlation was found between the arterial blood bicarbonate concentration and the bicarbonate concentration in the fluid drained from the peritoneal cavity. 4. If the lactate ions absorbed from the peritoneal cavity had not been metabolized the loss of bicarbonate ions in the fluid drained from the peritoneal cavity would have increased the metabolic acidosis.

AGEs (advanced glycation end products) accumulate markedly in the plasma of human subjects with renal failure. We investigated the efficiency of removal of AGEs from the circulation by PD (peritoneal dialysis) and HD (haemodialysis) therapy. Free AGEs were measured by LC-MS/MS in blood plasma before dialysis, in dialysis fluid effusate after a 2–12 h dwell time in the peritoneal cavity of PD subjects, and in the HD dialysate before and after HD therapy. In clinical uraemia, the concentrations of free AGEs in blood plasma were increased up to 50-fold. For example, levels of MG-H1 (methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone) were: normal controls, 110±46 nM; PD subjects, 1876±676 (P<0.01); HD subjects, 5496±1138 nM (P<0.001). In PD subjects, the AGE concentration in the effusate increased with increasing dwell time, reaching a maximum at a concentration higher than that in plasma for some AGEs at 4–12 h. This may reflect AGE formation in the peritoneal cavity. In HD, AGE concentrations in HD fluid were decreased markedly from the start to the end of a dialysis session, except that levels of the methylglyoxal-derived AGEs N∊-(1-carboxyethyl)lysine and MG-H1, and of pentosidine, remained 5-fold higher than control levels. Inadequate clearance of free AGEs may be linked to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with renal failure.

SummaryHeparin enhances the inhibition rate of thrombin by both antithrombin III (AT III) and heparin cofactor II (HC II). We studied the activity of these two plasma proteins in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing regular hemodialysis as their heparin requirements varied widely. In 77 normal blood donors, normal ranges (mean ± 2 SD) were 82-122% for AT III and 65-145% for HC II. When compared with these controls 82 dialyzed CRF patients had a subnormal AT III activity and a significantly (p <0.001) lower HC II activity. To evaluate the effect of hemodialysis we compared AT III, HC II and total proteins in plasma before and after dialysis in. 24 patients (12 with normal and 12 with low basal HC II activity). AT III and HC II activities significantly (p <0.001) increased in absolute value. When related to total plasma proteins, in order to suppress the influence of hemoconcentration induced by dialysis, AT III decreased significantly (p <0.01) whereas HC II increased slightly but significantly (p <0.01) in the 12 patients with low initial HC II activity. The decrease of AT III induced by heparin administrated during dialysis is likely to account for this relative decrease of AT III activity. A modification of the distribution of both HC II and heparin between the vascular wall and the circulating blood is evoked to explain the relative increase in HC II activity and the need for higher heparin dosage in patients with low HC II levels.

Today, management of irreversible renal failure is based primarily on maintenance hemodialysis and renal transplantation with a growing minority of patients treated by peritoneal dialysis. With regard to renal transplantation — the early promise of renal transplantation in the mid 1960's has given way to the realities of the late 1970's. There have been no major changes in the rejection rate of transplanted kidneys in recent years though today's mortality of transplant patients is considerably reduced over what it used to be. Moreover, universally the lack of availability of a sufficient number of organs for transplantation poses a formidable problem. It is all too apparent that current methods of blood purification in uremia are far from optimal. Even though the mortality in maintenance dialysis is relatively low, hemodialysis is characterized by a variety of complications and most maintenance dialysis patients are not optimally rehabilitated.

AbstractStudies were carried out in 183 non-dialyzed, 123 hemodialysis, 81 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and 35 post-transplant patients and in 103 healthy subjects as a reference group. Lipids and apolipoprotein (apo)AI and apoB were determined using Roche kits. An anti-apoB antibody was used to separate apoB-containing apoCIII and apoE-triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) in the non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) fraction from apoCIIInonB and apoEnonB in the HDL fraction in four groups of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and healthy subjects. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between triglyceride (TG) or HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and lipoproteins. Dyslipidemia varied according to the degree of renal insufficiency, the type of dialysis and therapy regime in CRF patients. Lipoprotein disturbances were manifested by increased TG, non-HDL-C and TRL concentrations, and decreased HDL-C and apoAI concentrations, whereas post-renal transplant patients showed normalization of lipid and lipoprotein profiles, except for TG levels and total apoCIII and apoCIIInonB. The present study indicates that CRF patients have disturbed lipoprotein composition, and that hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C concentrations in these patients are multifactorial, being secondary to disturbed lipoproteins. The method using anti-apoB antibodies to separate apoB-containing lipoproteins in the non-HDL fraction from non-apoB-containing lipoproteins in HDL can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with progression of renal failure or atherosclerosis. The variability of TG and HDL-C concentrations depends on the variability of TRL and cholesterol-rich lipoprotein concentrations, but the decreases in TG and increases in HDL-C concentrations are caused by apoAI concentration variability. These relationships, however, need to be confirmed in further studies.
