Optimising dose in peritoneal dialysis (PD).
PD dose is one determinant factor for PD adequacy. With the standard CAPD prescription of 4 x 2 L per day large patients especially after residual renal function has been lost, are at risk of being underdialysed according to the current standards. By using automated PD dialysis dose can be enhanced by individualising prescription and most of even large and anuric patients can be maintained on PD.
