Conditions

Procedure: Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD)
Registration Number
NCT04017572
Lead Sponsor
Lund University
Brief Summary

This clinical study is designed to evaluate the theoretical prediction of a lower glucose absorption in optimized automated peritoneal dialysis regimes. Patients will receive both a standard 6 x 2L 1.36% glucose regime or an optimized 7 x 2 L 2.27% glucose + 5 x 2 L 0.1% glucose regime in a crossover fashion.

Detailed Description

Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) is a rapidly growing, home-based kidney replacement therapy promoting patient autonomy, and is associated with lower societal costs compared to hemodialysis. However, in light of the growing number of diabetic patients on PD, the unwanted glucose absorption during APD is problematic. Recent results (Öberg CM, Rippe B, 2017, see references), using a theoretical model of APD, indicate that large reductions in glucose absorption are possible by using specialized so-called optimized bi-modal treatment regimes having "UF cycles" using a higher glucose concentration (e.g. 2.27% glucose) and "Clearance cycles" using a low glucose concentration (e.g. 0.1% glucose).
