Study Overview

Brief Summary

The following pilot study will be undertaken to determine the effects of use of a zero-sodium peritoneal dialysate solution (10% dextrose in sterile water) on sodium removal as compared to a standard peritoneal dialysis solution.

Detailed Description

While heart failure (HF) is generally regarded as the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood, on a population level, volume overload is the primary driver of morbidity and hospitalization. The signs and symptoms of volume overload are driven by water accumulation, which is initially driven by sodium retention. This overall goal of this study is to investigate the ability to remove sodium through use of a zero-sodium solution in peritoneal dialysis.

Arms & Interventions

10% dextrose in sterile water

Experimental

Patients randomized to this arm will undergo a two-hour dwell with 10% dextrose in sterile water at their first visit and Dianeal Low-Calcium with 4.25% Dextrose at their second visit.

Intervention: Two-hour dwell with 10% dextrose in sterile water (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Safety and tolerability measured by protocol discontinuation due to patient discomfort or adverse event

Time Frame: Two hours

Protocol discontinuation will be defined by premature draining of the 10% dextrose peritoneal solution (or 4.25% standard PD solution) prior to the planned two hour drain.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Comparison of total sodium removed compared to baseline(Two hours)
