Changes in Peritoneal Equilibration Test Values during Long-Term Peritoneal Dialysis in Peritonitis-Free Children

Abstract: Little is known about the changes in peritoneal equilibration test (PET) values in children on long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). In the present study, a PET was carried out every 6 months in 39 children (mean age 8.8 ± 5.5 years) undergoing PD for 6 to 85 months (mean 36.9 ± 23.1 months). Patients experiencing peritonitis were excluded. Both D/P creatinine (dialysate-to-plasma ratio of creatinine at 4 hours) and D/D0 glucose (ratio of dialysate glucose at 4 hours’ dwell time to dialysis glucose at 0 dwell ti… Show more

“…One potential problem with their study is that the time intervals between the two PETs varied considerably, with a mean interval of 29.3 ± 21.6 months (11). While Yoshino et al also investigated the natural change in PET values during long-term PD treatment, their data focused on that of peritonitis-free children only (12). Our present study is the first to compare the longitudinal changes of peritoneal transport in adult patients with up to 3 years of uneventful CAPD therapy.…”

“…Initially, we suspected that a rise in V→M permeability could be related to the natural course of treatment with CAPD, because increments in peritoneal permeability during the course of PD have been reported (16-19). However, D/P ratios and K BD ‘s for urea and creatinine were not significantly changed during the course of CAPD treatment in the control group, showing dialysis duration and comparable peritoneal permeability at the study onset similar to patients in the PG-DS group.…”

“…They, however, contain high amounts of glucose and toxic glucose degradation products (GDPs) and expose the patient to supraphysiological lactate concentrations at an unphysiologically low pH. These PD solutions impair peritoneal mesothelial cell function and local host defence [ 51 , 52 ] and lead to profound alterations of PD membrane morphology and function within few years [ 50 , 53 ].…”
