Questions About PD

  1. Has anyone calculated the amount of albumin lost per exchange in PD patients in order to replace the losses. I still have a problem getting the serum albumin levels to goal. Any ideas?

  2. What could be the causes of asymptomatic mild hemoperitoneum in a male patient on CCPD?

  3. Is there a guideline or any research that recommends how long heparin should be used for treatment of fibrin in effluent? Our current policy states to continue the heparin for a minimum of 48 hours after fibrin is noticed (even if the fibrin clears before then). We are considering changing the policy to use the heparin until the fibrin has cleared (not to wait for a full 48 hours) and would like some input. Thanks very much.
