title: Optimization of CCPD prescription in children using peritoneal equilibration test.
abstract: Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) is automatically performed by a cycler as a repetition several times per session of the same programmed exchange. We have investigated the efficiency, in terms of ultrafiltration (UF) capacity and solute clearance (phosphate), of an adapted (optimized) CCPD versus a conventional CCPD. Adapted CCPD was performed manually in order to allow a combination of short dwell times (optimal ultrafiltration) and long dwell times (optimal purification). The ratio of ultrafiltration over glucose absorbed (UF/G) was higher with adapted CCPD (5.7 +/- 0.8) compared with conventional CCPD (4.8 +/- 1.3). Phosphate purification was also enhanced with adapted CCPD (0.21 +/- 0.05 versus 0.16 +/- 0.05 mL/min/kg). These results confirm the usefulness of the concept of adapted CCPD with variable dwell times for optimization of peritoneal dialysis performances in children.
