Peritoneal dialysis prescription suitable for children with anuria.
Peritoneal dialysis patients with anuria have a poor prognosis because of uremia and volume overload. In the present paper, I discuss a suitable prescription for children with anuria. The discussion begins with the principles of prescription from the viewpoint of guidelines. Next, I present prescription and adequacy in children with regard to Kt/V urea, creatinine clearance, phosphorous, and ultrafiltration. Finally, I discuss how to prescribe for anuric children.
