摘要:
A method for peritoneal dialysis treatment includes (i) predicting results of a plurality of patient therapy outcomes for a plurality of different mixed dextrose level dialysis solutions; (ii) selecting one of the mixed dextrose level solutions for a patient based on the results; and (iii) performing at least one therapy using different unmixed dextrose level solutions that combine to simulate a like cumulative concentration that would be achieved using the selected mixed dextrose level solution.
摘要:
Peritoneal dialysis therapy outcomes have been calculated for a variety of dwell times of peritoneal dialysis fluids in the peritoneal cavities of dialysis patients using kinetic modeling. The length of dwell time should not be the same for every patient, but should vary according to the patient condition and needs. Some patients have a potential for expressing greater ultrafiltrate into the dialysis fluid, and these patients can benefit from a longer dwell time, whereas other patients with less potential will not benefit from a longer dwell time. An optimal or peak time is observed for each peritoneal dialysis therapy outcome, such as ultrafiltrate volume rate, urea clearance (Kt/V), and creatinine clearance, while minimizing hydrocarbon absorption. These values and input parameters can be used to tailor the peritoneal dialysis dwell time for each patient, estimating the peak dwell time that will yield the best therapy outcome for each patient.
