Questions About PD

  1. All, As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to escalate in the US, we have great concerns that our ability to provide renal replacement therapy will be overwhelmed. Does anyone have any acute PD protocols for AKI in the critically ill COVID-19 patient?

  2. What are best practices for PD patients with diverticulitis, given that this condition places the patient at increased risk for peritonitis?

  3. How are you handling patients with high residual renal function? Example: Kt/V 4.5 with the PD contribution of 1.53. Another patient with a Kt/V of 4.78 with the PD contribution of 1.21. Would you decrease the PD exchange/exchange volume?
