| Usage: |
There is considerable inter-patient and intra-patient variability in solute transport and ultrafiltration capacity in Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) allows for the assessment of a patient’s peritoneal membrane characteristics in turn can be useful for the development of patient-optimized PD treatment prescriptions. It can also monitor how peritoneal function varies over time. Generally, patients are categorized based on the 4-hour D/P creatinine and D/D0 glucose ratios. |
