title: How to do a peritoneal equilibration test.
abstract: This article, part 2 of a 2-part series, describes the process and procedures used to perform a peritoneal equilibration test. Data from the test may be used to assess the peritoneal membrane permeability. Knowledge of peritoneal membrane permeability may be useful in selecting a treatment regimen and in determining the appropriate dialysis prescription.
