title: Cross-Over Efficiency Comparison of Different Tidal Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Schedules.
abstract: This study compares 5 different tidal automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) prescriptions. Six low-average and 6 high-average transporters performed 3 separate sessions with 5 different schedules: (A) 50% tidal with initial fill volume (FV) 2 liters, (B) 50% tidal with 2.2 liters initial FV, (C) 2.2 liters initial FV with 70% tidal, (D) as in B, with one complete renewal of the initial FV at midsession, (E) 2.2 liters FV with breakpoint modality. Urea, creatinine and phosphate peritoneal clearances, sodium removal and ultrafiltration (UF) were compared using analysis of variance. Compared to treatment A, all the tested alternative schedules were associated with 10% significantly higher urea clearance; B, D and E, but not C, were associated with 10% higher creatinine clearance. Phosphate clearance was significantly higher with D, while sodium removal was larger with both C and D. UF was lower with A and E in high average transporters. Manipulation of the main prescriptive parameters of tidal APD has significant impact on its efficiency.
