Questions About PD

  1. Hi just wondering could we use the last fill of PD cycle treatment from last night to obtain a PD fluid sample? or we need to instill new 1.5% PD solution for two hours and then get our PD sample for cell count and culture?

  2. I have a patient who has been hypotensive during routine flush. Minimal infusion 200ml and he is hypotensive dropping greater than 20 and symptomatic. I have never seen this before. Any ideas?

  3. When performing a PET, the standard dialysate fill volume for the dwell is 2000ml. What is the minimum dialysate fill volume that can be used for a PET?
