  • When performing adequacy testing, specifically 24 hour batch, is the correct procedure to use the patient's ACTUAL body weight or to use their IDEAL body weight (fat free, edema free body mass)?
  • I have been a PD patient both in the UK and US. In the UK patients do not wear masks when connecting and disconnecting, in the US, the guidelines are that they do. The only difference that I can see is that in the UK patients are provided with sterile disposable connection shields with povidone iodine soaked foam in them that remain on during the dialysis process. I must admit that I do not wear the mask, have been dialysing for six years and have had no infection issues.
