Re-evaluation of solute transport groups of peritoneal dialysis patients using peritoneal equilibration test / 中华肾脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To clarify whether the peritoneal equilibration test (PET)-determined solute transport groups defined by Twardowski fits patients in our medical center. Methods 158 initial standardized PET data since 1995 was selected and proportions of four transport groups were calculated according to Twardowski's criterion. Using the mean and standard deviations of 4-hour dialysis/plasma ratio of creatinine (D/Pcr), transport groups of our patients were re-determined. Patients were classified as follow according to both two criteria, patients whose 4-hour D/Pcr in the range of high transport, low transport and average transport were classified as group H1, group L1 and group A, respectively; several average transport patients who changed to low transport after re-evaluation were classified as group L2; high transport patients who changed to average transport were classified as group H2. Every group was compared with clinical status in order to evaluate which criterion fit our patients. Results The 4-hour D/Pcr was 0. 70 ?0. 14 in our patients. The proportion of high, high-average, low-average and low transport were 21.5%, 44.9%, 17.8% and 5. 7% according to Twardowski's and 14. 6% , 33.5%, 33.5% and 18. 4% after re-evaluation. The ultrafiltration volume in group L2 was significantly higher than that in group A ( P
