The achievement of euvolemia is essential to the successful management of peritoneal dialysis patients. However, the concern that hypertonic glucose exchanges may have a role in long-term changes to the peritoneal membrane has lead to an alternative strategy to enhance ultrafiltration (UF) over the long dwell by combining crystalloid and colloid osmosis. This review summarizes the experience of mixing glucose or amino acids with polyglucose (icodextrin), with particular focus given to data from studies using glucose/icodextrin in combinations of 1.
