Daily change of peritoneal ultrafiltration volume in patients with hybrid dialysis

Abstract

AbstractIntroductionHybrid dialysis is widely used in Japan. Although previous reports have shown the beneficial effects of hybrid dialysis, little is known about the daily change in peritoneal ultrafiltration volume in hybrid dialysis.MethodsA multicenter, cross‐sectional study was conducted in 25 patients with hybrid dialysis. The primary outcome measure was the change in peritoneal ultrafiltration volume between after HD and before HD, according to PD prescription and PD holiday. The secondary outcome measure was the correlation between the difference in ultrafiltration volume and each factor.ResultsThe total ultrafiltration volume and the ultrafiltration volume of glucose dialysate after HD increased from 970 ± 408 to 1151 ± 480 (p < 0.01) and from 576 ± 392 to 750 ± 517 (p < 0.01), respectively, compared with before HD. In contrast, the ultrafiltration volume of icodextrin dialysate did not change (from 470 ± 204 to 494 ± 242, p = 0.40). The difference in total ultrafiltration volume was correlated with the difference in glucose dialysate ultrafiltration volume and hybrid duration, but not with the difference in icodextrin dialysate ultrafiltration volume and peritoneal dialysis duration.ConclusionThis study showed that the peritoneal ultrafiltration volume for glucose dialysate increased after HD compared with before HD in patients with hybrid dialysis, whereas that for icodextrin dialysate did not change.
