Questions About PD

A day dwell is definitely the best option to enhance clearance in this instance. If the patient is a rapid transporter, Icodextrin would be a good choice to avoid fluid absorption during the long dwell (which would be likely with a glucose-based solution). A Kt/V target of 1.7 should be considered a rough guideline – for example, if the patient is clinically well with a Kt/V of 1.6, there would be no need to increase clearance further.
