Objective: During acute peritoneal dialysis (APD), it is known that glucose found in the dialysate solution contributes to the provision of significant calories. It has been well documented in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) that glucose absorption occurs. In APD, however, it remains unclear how much glucose absorption actually does occur. Therefore, the purpose of this study was...
The impact of glucose absorption on patients on peritoneal dialysis has been shown to be significant. Several different methods are available to calculate glucose absorption in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The estimates of glucose absorption range from 30% to 80%. It is unclear whether calculations for glucose absorption in patients on CAPD can be used in those on...
