How PD works?
Anatomy & Physiology 3 Pore Model 6
Ultra-small or transcellular pores (0.4-0.6 nm.) Exist in small numbers and constitute 1-2 % of all pores Transport water only (sieving) :aquaporin-1(water channel) Michael F. Flessner Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 288: F433–F442, 2005 Free water 7
Small pores (4.0-6.0 nm.) Exist in large numbers and constitute 95% of all pores transport small solutes and water: interendothelial cleft Michael F. Flessner Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 288: F433–F442, 2005 Small solute e.g. Na ,K , Cr 8
Large pores (20-24 nm) Exist in small numbers and constitute < 3% of all pores Transport macromolecules and anatomically large clefts between endothelial cells : convection Michael F. Flessner Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 288: F433–F442, 2005 albumin 9
How PD works? Ultrafiltration Key elements • Osmotic gradients: - Glucose concentration • Osmotic agent: - Cristalloïd (glucose, amino acids) - Colloïde (high molecular weight: ex. Icodextrine ) • Intra peritoneal Pressure (IPP): - Important to determine Intra peritoneal Volume • Transport type of the membrane: rapid or slow PET will determine the type of the membrane and determine the best dwell time to be prescribed • Dwell time is therefore also a key element 10
Adequate dialysis Narrow Sense Appropriate small molecular weight solute clearance Specifically measured as urea clearance In PD, we measure total Kt /V Renal Kt /V + Dialysate Kt /V 18
Adequate dialysis Broad sense Control of: – Acid-base status – BP and volume status – Cardiovascular Risk – Diet/nutrition – Mineral/Bone disorders – Small/middle molecules 19 Possibly most important: How the patient feels!
20 RRF Euvolemia
Ultrafiltration during PD Depends on: 21
Treatment Sodium and fluid restriction — We review the sodium restriction of <2 grams/day. We restrict fluids to approximately 2 L/day. Loop diuretics — We treat all patients who have residual renal function with diuretics. We increase the dose in patients who develop hypervolemia. Combination therapy with furosemide and a thiazide diuretic ( eg , metolazone) may also be effective.

Interpretation of PET ?? 31 Drain volumes correlate positively with dialysate glucose and negatively with D/P creatinine at 4 hours
PET application Transporter Waste removal Water removal Best type of PD High Fast Poor Frequent exchanges, short dwells – APD Average OK OK CAPD or APD Slow Slow Good CAPD, 5 exchanges daily + 1 exchange at night 32
Common prescription errors - CAPD Mismatch dwell time and transport type Inappropriately short daytime dwell Inappropriate infused volumes Inappropriate glucose concentration for nighttime dwell 33
Common prescription errors - APD Inappropriate use of a dry day Inappropriately long drain times Failure to increase target dose to account for intermittent therapy Failure to consider a CAPD exchange during the day to increase clearance 34
Targeting goals Prescription CAPD Increase exchange volume Increase frequency of daily exchanges Increasing tonicity of dialysis solution APD Introduction of daily dwell Increase dwell volume on cycler Increase time on cycler Increase frequency of cycles Increasing dialysis solution tonicity 37
CAPD Prescription Modification 38
CAPD Prescription Modification 39
APD Prescription Modification 40
APD Prescription Modification 41 Effective means of improving clearance Minimum impact on patient lifestyle Adjust nighttime exchanges first Use 2.0L or greater whenever possible
APD Prescription Modification 42 Cycler time can be extended to 10 hours Increasing cycler time with a constant number of exchanges increases dwell time which increases clearance Increase Number of Nighttime Exchanges May increase clearance, but only if time on cycler is also increased
Prescription Modification 43 This is a very effective means of improving clearance Machine can be programmed to deliver the midday exchange APD
Adapted APD 44 APD
Adapted APD 45 Adapted APD First Ultrafiltration (low fill – short dwell) Then Purification (large fill – long dwell) improved dialysis efficiency in terms of UF, Kt /V(urea), K( creat ), P, and Na. Those results were achieved without incurring any extra financial costs and with a reduction in the metabolic cost (assessed using glucose absorption).
Alternate APD 46 APD
Targeting goals Prescription pitfalls in PD Loss of residual renal function Non compliance Prescription with “dry” time Inappropriate switch from CAPD to APD Inadequate attention to fluid removal 47
Extra Measures Resting the peritoneum – We occasionally temporarily switch to maintenance hemodialysis via a temporary central venous catheter in order to rest the peritoneum
Clinical Practice Guidelines of the Canadian Society of Nephrology for treatments of Patients with CRF JASN 10: S287-S321, 1999 Monitoring frequency KT/V and Ccl : Within 6-8 weeks after commencing dialysis Every subsequent 6 month If patients clinical status changes unexpectedly, or if prescription is altered, take supplemental clearance measurements PET Within 6 weeks of initiating PD Repeat if unexpected changes in peritoneal UF occur 49

54 Conclusions The use of neutral-pH, low–glucose degradation products solutions results in: better preservation of residual renal function and greater urine volumes. The effect on residual renal function occurred early and persisted beyond 12 months.
Impact of icodextrin on clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials 55 Conclusions Icodextrin prescription improved peritoneal ultrafiltration, mitigated uncontrolled fluid overload and was not associated with increased risk of adverse events. Nephrol . Dial. Transplant. (2013)28 (7): 1899-1907.
Treatment Icodextrin dialysate one exchange per day. We use icodextrin-containing dialysate during the overnight exchange in CAPD and for the long-day dwell in APD . The use of icodextrin dialysate enhances ultrafiltration, particularly during a long dwell in fast transporters. Since the compound is relatively inert and slowly absorbed, the osmotic gradient is maintained, thereby providing sustained ultrafiltration.
Making monitoring of adequacy easier Using a software program makes monitoring easier: Automated calculations of creat clearance, KT/V, nPNA Reporting function gives easy overview of one patient or whole patient population Easy to identify problem patients where actions might be needed Track and document improvements over time 57
58 The use of bioimpedance spectroscopy to guide fluid management in patients receiving dialysis. Tabinor M1 , Davies SJ Eight trials (published 2010-2018) and two meta-analyses (2017) are reviewed. Both haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis modalities are represented. Despite considerable heterogeneity in intervention, all are open-label randomized comparisons of a bioimpedance intervention with normal clinical practice in which clinicians were blinded to bioimpedance data. In a total of 1443 patients studied, no significant differences in mortality, cardiovascular or adverse events between groups were observed. Bioimpedance use was associated with a reduction in overhydration, especially when residual kidney function was not present and a greater reduction in blood pressure. A modest correlation in the change in fluid status and fall in systolic blood pressure was seen compared to baseline. A more rapid fall in urine volume was seen in the two studies with the greatest change in fluid status, with significantly higher risk of anuria in one. How bioimpedance was integrated with the complex process of decision making by clinicians was variable and not always explained. The usefulness of bioimpedance spectroscopy in guiding fluid management in dialysis patients is not yet clear. Bioimpedance can drive clinical decisions that lead to significant changes in fluid status but the best way to apply this in clinical practice requires further studies.
