     •   Prescribing acute peritoneal dialysis
     •   Complications
Prescribing acute peritoneal dialysis
• A: Session length
  – In the setting of acute renal failure (catabolic ,
    oliguric ), continuous removal of fluids and solutes
    is required
  – Need for hourly exchange on a continuous basis
    for days or weeks
  – Order for One day
Standard order for 1 day
Exchange volume
• Average-sized adult can usually tolerate 2L
  exchanges
   – Those with abdominal wall or inguinal hernias, the
     exchange volume should be reduced

• Some may prefer start with smaller volumes(1-
  1.5 L) for the first few exchanges

• The larger volume is , the greater the clearance
  and UF rates
Exchange time
  – Inflow 15 – dwell 30 - drain 15
  – 1 hr.
• Inflow time
  – Gravity
  – 10 min.
  – Prolonged
     • Kinking
     • Inflow resistance
• Inflow pain due to acidic , hypertonic solution
Exchange time
• Dwell period
• Standard dwell period
  – Usual dwell time is 30 min
  – 2L per exchage 48 L per day
  – [Urea] in drained dialysate will be 50-60% of plasma
• More stable patients
  – If Not extremely hypercatabolic state
     •  longer dwell time 1.5-5 hrs


  – At 5 hrs [UREA] dialysate = [UREA]plasma
Exchange time
• Outflow time
  – Gravity
  – 20-30 min
  – Depend on
     •   Total volume
     •   Resistance to outflow
     •   Height
     •   1st exchange
     •   Outflow obstruction
     •   Outflow pain
CEPD (Continouous equilibration
           peritoneal dialysis)
•   Alternative approach
•   Modified version of CAPD
•   Standard manual exchange every 3 to 6 hours
•   Adventage
    – Simplicity
    – Lower cost
    – Less labor-intense
• Disadventage
    – Clearance are less
    – Not be adequate in more catabolic patient
Choosing the dialysis solution
• 1.5% dextrose
  – Sufficient to remove 50-150 of fluid per hour (2L
    ,60min exchange time)
  – UF rate 1.2-3.6 L/day
• 4.25% dextrose
  – UF 300-400 ml/hr
  – Acquired for treatment of CHF
Effect of peritonitis
• During peritonitis
  – Enhanced absorption of glucose
  – Rapidly reducing the osmotic gradient

  – Maintaining the efficiency of UF
     • reduced exchange time
     • More hypertonic exchange
Dialysis Solution additives
• KCl
  – Hypokalemia  KCl 3-5 mEq/L can be added
  – Correction of acidosis K shift  hypokalemia
• Heparin
  – Catheter obstruction due to fibrin
  – 1000 U/2 L
• Insulin
  – Glucose absorbed from the dialysis solution
Insulin
• Antibiotics
  – Intraperitoneal administration
Monitoring fluid balance
Monitor Clearance
• In general
  – BUN should maintain below 80 mg/dl

  – D:P ratio for urea
     • [BUN]dialysate : [BUN]plasma ratio
     • Multiplied by total daily dialysate volume urea daily
       clearance
     • Should be at least 10 ml/min
     • 20-30 ml/min in hypercatabolic patient

  – Account for as much as 50% of total clearance
  – Preserved in patient on CAPD
     •  ACEI ,ARB
     • Avoid nephrotoxic agents i.e. aminoglycoside
• Peritoneal transport status
  – PET
     • Low transporter  high volume ,long duration dwell
          – Low average
          – High average
     • High transporter  short duration dwell

  • Nutritional issues in PD
CAPD
• Initial
   – 4x2 L or 4x2.5 in larger patients
   – Increase peritoneal Kt/V in CAPD
      • Increasing exchange volumes
            – Increase backpain
            – Abdominal distention
            – Shortness of breath
      • Increasing the frequency of daily exchange
            – Most CAPD pts. Do 4 exchange daily
            – 45 lead to burn out (alt. night exchange)
      • Increase the tonicity of dialysis solution
            – Increase UF and clearance
APD
• 10-12 L daily (15 L in larger)
• Good residual renal function  NIPD
• High transporter  short day time/second
  dwell
• Typical cycler time is 8-10 hrs
  – dwell volumes 2 L
Increase clearance of APD
• Introduction of a day dwell
  – NIPD
     • Adding day dwell  increase Kt/V and CrCl by 25%-50%
     • Disadventage
        – In high transporter  increase net fluid resorption
        – Icodextrin or shortening day dwell

• Increase dwell volumes on cycler
  – Because patients are supine during cyclingtolerate
    larger dwell volume
  – 4X2.5 L per session is better than 5X2 L per session
Increase clearance of APD
• Time on cycler
   – The longer time ,the better clearance


• Increasing frequency of cycles
   – More frequent cycle  increase clearance on APD
   – But More frequent cycle Dialysis time lost


• Increasing dialysis solution tonicity
   – concern about glocose-related complications arise
Incremental versus maximal prescription

• Incremental approach
  – Suitable when dialysis is being initiated early
  – 2-3 CAPD exchanges daily or a low-volume

  – Less costly and less onerous
  – Decrease total glucose exposure and risk of peritonitis

  – Require regular monitoring of resiual function
     • To ensure that the clearance achieved doesn’t below target
       levels
Empirical versus Modeled approach

• Modeled approach
•     collecting patient anthropometric data , PET , residual
  renal function

• Computer program uses the data to predict

• Actual clearance still have to be measure
•     because discrepancy between actual and modeled
Empirical versus Modeled approach

• Empirical approach
   – Physician uses knowledge of the patient’s size , residual renal function
     , and peritoneal transport status
   – And choose a resonable prescription

   – Advantage
       • Less trial and error
       • Earlier identification of an appropriate prescription
Prescription pitfalls in peritoneal dialysis
• Loss of residual renal function
    – Not monitored closely enough

• Noncompliance
    – No single test that identifies this problem
    – Serial measurement of 24-hr dialysate plus urinary Cr excretion
• High serum creatinine despite good clearances
    – Kt/V > 1.7/wk but serum Cr > 12-15
    – Non compliance

    – Kt/V high and CrCl low
    – Residual renal function fades away

    – Hight lean body mass
• Inappropriate switch form CAPD to APD
  – Particular in low transporter


• Inadequate attention to fluid removal
  – Particular in high , high-average transporter and
    long dwells that result in net fluid resorption
• Chronic
  • Choice of PD treatment modality

  • Nutritional issues in PD
Nutritional Issues in PD
• nPNA
  – Normalized protein equivalent of nitrogen appearance
  – Include
     • Serum albumin
     • Subjective global assessment
     • Lean body mass
  – Measure 24 hr of dialysate and urine (intake
    output)
  – Bergstrom
  – Recommend 1.2 gm/kg/day
• Caloric intake
  – = dietary intake + glucose absorbed
  – 35 kcal/kg/day
  – 10-30% come from glucose (depend on tonicity)
Bergstrom formulas
• 1) PNA (g per day)=20.1 + 7.5 UNA (g per day)
or
• 2) PNA (g per day)= 15.1 + 6.95 UNA + dialysate
   protein losses (g per day)

• UNA = urinary nitrogen losses (g/day) + dialysiate
  urea nitrogen losses

• 1) if dialysate protein losses are unknown
• 2) if dialysate protein losses are known
Serum albumin
• Strongest predictors of patient survival on PD
• Influences
  – dialysate albumin losses
  – Inflammation
  – More than dietary protein intake
Subject global assessment
• Simple clinical tool
• Predict patient outcome
• KDOQI , Canadian Society
Creatinine excretion
• 24 hr urine and dialysate collections
Treatment of malnutrition
• Dietitian support
   – Dietition to ensure adequate protein intake
• Nutritional Supplement

• Promotility agent
   – Gastric emptying is impaired
• Anabolic steroid
   – 1 RCT ,Nandrolone 100 mg IM weekly for 6 months 
     improve lean body mass
• Amino acid
   – amino acid based dwell

    • Chronic • Choice of PD treatment modality – Modalities of PD therapy CAPD , APD ,hybrid – CAPD or PD ? • Choice of prescription – Clearance targets – Measurement of clearance – Determinants of clearance – prescription • Nutritional issues in PD
  • 52.
    CAPD • Initial – 4x2 L or 4x2.5 in larger patients – Increase peritoneal Kt/V in CAPD • Increasing exchange volumes – Increase backpain – Abdominal distention – Shortness of breath • Increasing the frequency of daily exchange – Most CAPD pts. Do 4 exchange daily – 45 lead to burn out (alt. night exchange) • Increase the tonicity of dialysis solution – Increase UF and clearance
  • 53.
    APD • 10-12 Ldaily (15 L in larger) • Good residual renal function  NIPD • High transporter  short day time/second dwell • Typical cycler time is 8-10 hrs – dwell volumes 2 L
  • 54.
    Increase clearance ofAPD • Introduction of a day dwell – NIPD • Adding day dwell  increase Kt/V and CrCl by 25%-50% • Disadventage – In high transporter  increase net fluid resorption – Icodextrin or shortening day dwell • Increase dwell volumes on cycler – Because patients are supine during cyclingtolerate larger dwell volume – 4X2.5 L per session is better than 5X2 L per session
  • 55.
    Increase clearance ofAPD • Time on cycler – The longer time ,the better clearance • Increasing frequency of cycles – More frequent cycle  increase clearance on APD – But More frequent cycle Dialysis time lost • Increasing dialysis solution tonicity – concern about glocose-related complications arise
  • 56.
    Incremental versus maximalprescription • Incremental approach – Suitable when dialysis is being initiated early – 2-3 CAPD exchanges daily or a low-volume – Less costly and less onerous – Decrease total glucose exposure and risk of peritonitis – Require regular monitoring of resiual function • To ensure that the clearance achieved doesn’t below target levels
  • 57.
    Empirical versus Modeledapproach • Modeled approach • collecting patient anthropometric data , PET , residual renal function • Computer program uses the data to predict • Actual clearance still have to be measure • because discrepancy between actual and modeled
  • 58.
    Empirical versus Modeledapproach • Empirical approach – Physician uses knowledge of the patient’s size , residual renal function , and peritoneal transport status – And choose a resonable prescription – Advantage • Less trial and error • Earlier identification of an appropriate prescription
  • 59.
    Prescription pitfalls inperitoneal dialysis • Loss of residual renal function – Not monitored closely enough • Noncompliance – No single test that identifies this problem – Serial measurement of 24-hr dialysate plus urinary Cr excretion • High serum creatinine despite good clearances – Kt/V > 1.7/wk but serum Cr > 12-15 – Non compliance – Kt/V high and CrCl low – Residual renal function fades away – Hight lean body mass
  • 60.
    • Inappropriate switchform CAPD to APD – Particular in low transporter • Inadequate attention to fluid removal – Particular in high , high-average transporter and long dwells that result in net fluid resorption
  • 61.
    • Chronic • Choice of PD treatment modality – Modalities of PD therapy CAPD , APD ,hybrid – CAPD or PD ? • Choice of prescription – Clearance targets – Measurement of clearance – Determinants of clearance – prescription • Nutritional issues in PD
  • 62.
    Nutritional Issues inPD • nPNA – Normalized protein equivalent of nitrogen appearance – Include • Serum albumin • Subjective global assessment • Lean body mass – Measure 24 hr of dialysate and urine (intake output) – Bergstrom – Recommend 1.2 gm/kg/day
  • 63.
    • Caloric intake – = dietary intake + glucose absorbed – 35 kcal/kg/day – 10-30% come from glucose (depend on tonicity)
  • 64.
    Bergstrom formulas • 1)PNA (g per day)=20.1 + 7.5 UNA (g per day) or • 2) PNA (g per day)= 15.1 + 6.95 UNA + dialysate protein losses (g per day) • UNA = urinary nitrogen losses (g/day) + dialysiate urea nitrogen losses • 1) if dialysate protein losses are unknown • 2) if dialysate protein losses are known
  • 65.
    Serum albumin • Strongestpredictors of patient survival on PD • Influences – dialysate albumin losses – Inflammation – More than dietary protein intake
  • 66.
    Subject global assessment •Simple clinical tool • Predict patient outcome • KDOQI , Canadian Society
  • 67.
    Creatinine excretion • 24hr urine and dialysate collections
  • 68.
    Treatment of malnutrition •Dietitian support – Dietition to ensure adequate protein intake • Nutritional Supplement • Promotility agent – Gastric emptying is impaired • Anabolic steroid – 1 RCT ,Nandrolone 100 mg IM weekly for 6 months  improve lean body mass • Amino acid – amino acid based dwell
