Abstract
Objective To study the effect of increasing dialysis volume on nutritional status and peritoneal dialysis adequacy of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods Thirty-six CAPD patients who took conventional 8-L dialysafe perday were investigated, in which 13 patients had one additional 2-L exchange during the night (10-L group). Dialysis adequcy parameters (TKt/v, TCcr), net ultrafiltration (nUF) and nutritional status (serum albumin) were measured at 0 and 3 months. Results There were significant increases in TKt/v, TCcr and nUF in 10-L group after 3 months ( P<0.05). The serum albumin level were slightly decreased ( P>0.05). Conclusion Increasing dialysis volume may effectively increase TKt/v, TCcr and nUF in CAPD patients, but may not affect nutritional status during short period.
