Cross-Over Efficiency Comparison of Different Tidal Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Schedules.

This study compares 5 different tidal automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) prescriptions. Six low-average and 6 high-average transporters performed 3 separate sessions with 5 different schedules: (A) 50% tidal with initial fill volume (FV) 2 liters, (B) 50% tidal with 2.2 liters initial FV, (C) 2.

Determinants of sodium removal with tidal automated peritoneal dialysis.

In a comprehensive evaluation of dialysis adequacy, major attention has been recently paid to fluid and Na balance. Removal of Na has been reported to be significantly poorer with automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) than with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Only limited data on Na removal with tidal APD have been published.

Incremental peritoneal dialysis favourably compares with hemodialysis as a bridge to renal transplantation.

Background. The value of incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a bridge to renal transplantation (Tx) has not been specifically addressed. Methods.
