Clinical relevance of marginal factors on ultrafiltration in peritoneal dialysis
Résumé
Background: UF in PD is mainly driven by the osmotic gradient and peritoneal permeability, but other factors-such as intraperitoneal pressure (IPP)-also have an influence. Methods: To assess the clinical relevance of these marginal factors, we studied 41 unselected PD patients undergoing two consecutive 2h, 2.27% glucose exchanges, first with 2.5L and then with 1.5L. Results: IPP, higher in the 2.5L exchange, had a wide interpatient range, was higher in obese and polycystic patients and their increase with infusion volume was higher for women regardless of body size. UF with 2.5L correlated inversely with IPP and was higher for patients with polycystosis or hernias, while for 1.5L we found no significant correlations. The effluent had higher glucose and osmolarity in the 2.5L exchange than in the 1.5L one, similar for both sexes. In spite of this stronger osmotic gradient, only 21 patients had more UF in the 2.5L exchange, with differences up to 240 mL. The other 20 patients had more UF in the 1.5L exchange, with stronger differences (up to 800 mL, and more than 240 mL for 9 patients). The second group, with similar effluent osmolarity and PET parameters that the first, has higher IPP and preponderance of men. The sex influence is so intense that men decreased average UF with 2.5L with respect to 1.5L, while women increased it.
