Adapted automated peritoneal dialysis (aAPD), comprising a sequence of dwells with different durations and fill volumes, has been shown to enhance both ultrafiltration and solute clearance compared to standard peritoneal dialysis with constant time and volume dwells. The aim of this non-interventional study was to describe the different prescription patterns used in aAPD in clinical practice and to observe outcomes characterizing volume status, dialysis efficiency, and residual renal function over 1 year. Prevalent and incident, adult aAPD patients were recruited during routine clinic visits, and aAPD prescription, volume status, residual renal function and laboratory data were documented at baseline and every quarter thereafter for 1 year. Treatments were prescribed according to the nephrologist’s medical judgement in accordance with each center’s clinical routine. Of 180 recruited patients, 160 were analyzed. 27 different aAPD prescription patterns were identified. 79 patients (49.4%) received 2 small, short dwells followed by 3 long, large dwells. During follow-up, volume status changed only marginally, with visit mean values ranging between 1.59 (95% confidence interval: 1.19; 1.99) and 1.97 (1.33; 2.61) L. Urine output and creatinine clearance decreased significantly, accompanied by reductions in ultrafiltration and Kt/V. 25 patients (15.6%) received a renal transplant and 15 (9.4%) were changed to hemodialysis. Options for individualization offered by aAPD are actually used in practice for optimized treatment. Changes observed in renal function and dialysis efficiency measures reflect the natural course of chronic kidney disease. No safety events were observed during the study period.

Objective To determine the effect of peritoneal dialysis modalities such as nightly intermittent peritoneal dialysis (NIPD), continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) on residual renal function. Design A six-month prospective, nonrandomized comparison study. Setting Outpatient CAPD unit of a university hospital. Participants Eighteen end-stage renal disease patients treated by peritoneal dialysis (8 by NIPD, 5 by CCPD, and 5 by CAPD). Interventions Samples from the total dialysate, blood, and 24hour urine collection were obtained monthly. Measurements Urea, creatinine, and beta2-microglobulin concentrations were measured. Renal and peritoneal clearances of each substance and KT/V urea were calculated. Residual renal function (RRF) was estimated by renal creatinine clearance (RCcr). Results No significant differences in age, sex, and primary renal disease among the three groups were noted. In all groups, anemic and hypertensive states were controlled identically, and mean weekly total (renal + peritoneal) KT/V urea (over 2.1/wk) and total creatinine clearance (over 60 L/wk/1.73 m2) were maintained during the whole experimental period. Starting mean RCcr was near 4.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 in all groups. Thereafter, a rapid and significant decline in RRF was demonstrated on NIPD and CCPD. The declining rates of RCcr values at 6 months after starting NIPD and CCPD were -0.29 and -0.34 mL/min/month, respectively, which were much greater than those of CAPD (+0.01 mL/min/month). Conclusion Because of a possibly characteristic progressive loss of RRF in automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), strict regular assessment of RRF should be performed from the start of APD.

♦ Objective Conventional continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in patients without residual renal function and with high solute transport is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) has the potential to improve both solute clearance and ultrafiltration in these circumstances, but its efficacy as a treatment modality is unknown. The European Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes Study (EAPOS) is a 2-year, prospective, European multi-center study designed to determine APD feasibility and clinical outcomes in anuric patients. The present article describes the baseline data for patients recruited into the study. ♦ Design All PD patients treated in the participating centers were screened for inclusion criteria [urinary output < 100 mL/24 h, or residual renal function (RRF) < 1 mL/min, or both]. After enrollment, changes were made to the dialysis prescription to achieve a weekly creatinine clearance above 60 L per 1.73 m2 and an ultrafiltration rate above 750 mL in 24 hours. ♦ Setting The study is being conducted in 26 dialysis centers in 13 European countries. ♦ Baseline Data Collection The information collected includes patient demographics, dialysis prescription, achieved weekly creatinine clearance, and 24-hour ultra-filtration (UF). ♦ Results The study enrolled 177 anuric patients. Median dialysis duration before enrollment was 22.5 months (range: 0 – 285 months). Mean solute transport measured as the dialysate-to-plasma ratio of creatinine (D/PCr) was 0.74 ± 0.12. Patients received APD for a median of 9.0 hours overnight (range: 7 – 12 hours) using a median of 11.0 L of fluid (range: 6 – 28.75 L). Median daytime volume was 4.0 L (range: 0.0 – 9.0 L). Tidal dialysis was used in 26 patients, and icodextrin in 86 patients. At baseline, before treatment optimization, the weekly mean total creatinine clearance was 65.2 ± 14.4 L/1.73 m2, with 105 patients (60%) achieving the target of more than 60 L/1.73 m2. At baseline, 81% of patients with high transport, 69% with high-average transport, and 40% with low-average transport met the target. At baseline, 70% of patients with a body surface area (BSA) below 1.7 m2, 60% with a BSA of 1.7 – 2.0 m2, and 56% with a BSA above 2.0 m2 achieved 60 L/1.73 m2 weekly. Median UF was 1090 mL/24 h, and 75% of patients achieved the UF target of more than 750 mL/24 h. ♦ Conclusion This baseline analysis of anuric patients recruited into the EAPOS study demonstrates that a high proportion of anuric patients on APD can achieve dialysis and ultrafiltration targets using a variety of regimes. This 2-year follow-up study aims to optimize APD prescription to reach predefined clearance and ultrafiltration targets, and to observe the resulting clinical outcomes.

Background: Peritoneal dialysis is used regularlly in treatment of ESRDs. Residual renal function (RRF) in these patients helps the adequacy of PD therapy very much. Objectives: 1. Study RRF of PD patients at Department of Nephro – Rheumatology, Hue Central Hospital. 2. Search the correlation between RRF and Kt/V. Patients and methods: 35 PD patients at Department of Nephro – Rheumatology, Hue Central Hospital. Measure RRF and Kt/V by formulars that depend on blood, urine and PD fluid samples. Results: Mean RRF of PD patients is 4.36 ± 13.8 ml/minute. There is a close correlation between RRF and Kt/V (r=0.79, p<0.01). Conclusion: RRF in PD patients correlates with Kt/V.
