title: What effect does glucose have on measured creatinine in the peritoneal equilibration test?
abstract: Very high glucose concentrations falsely elevate measured creatinine. An appropriate correction factor may be applied to obtain an accurate creatinine value; however, the glucose interference is of a low magnitude in most dialysate samples at a 4-hour dwell time. Clinical interpretation of the peritoneal equilibration test using uncorrected creatinine values to determine the dialysate-to-plasma ratio at 4 hours is associated with minimal error.
