The Factors Affecting IPP in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease

• Conditions: Peritoneal Dialysis; Polycystic Kidney Diseases

• Registration Number: NCT06841224
• Lead Sponsor: Peking University First Hospital

Brief Summary

Background: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) in such patients is restricted because the significantly enlarged kidneys and liver may lead to the increase of intraperitoneal pressure (IPP). Increased IPP points to higher risk of abdominal wall complications and limited infusion volume that cause insufficient dialysis adequacy. Therefore, monitoring IPP is especially important in patients with polycystic kidney disease. However, the standard measurement of IPP is limited due to its cumbersome procedures, the application value of equation for estimating IPP among general peritoneal dialysis patients is not clear in the PKD population and the variables influence the IPP is yet to be explored..

Objective: The main purpose of our study was to validate the existing IPP equations in the PKD patients. Further, more relevant variables were included to optimize the IPP equation. Monitoring IPP can guide the formulation of peritoneal dialysis prescription for ADPKD patients, reduce the occurrence of abdominal wall complications, and the clinical utility and efficiency of PD was expanded.

Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study. The IPPs were measured using the Durand method, with whole-body and abdominal anthropometry indices, the volume of abdominal cavity, the total kidney volume and liver volume were collected. New equation for estimate IPP in PKD patients were generated by stepwise linear regression modeling. The eIPP were calculated using two developed equations previously. Then The bias, accuracy and precision of eIPP derived from new equation were compared with actual IPP by Durand method respectively.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
intraperitoneal pressure	20 minutes	Actual IPP (aIPP) was measured as previously described by Durand et al.17. The peritoneal cavity was completely emptied before the test. The patient was placed briefly in a supine position on a horizontal plane and the height of the horizontal plane was standardized for all study subjects. A graduated column (cm) was bounded to the abdominal cavity through the PD catheter, with zero level placed on the midaxillary line. Two-liter dialysate solution was infused into the peritoneal cavity. We then read the height between the column of dialysate inside the PD catheter and the midaxillary line in centimetres of water (cmH2O) at non-deep expiration (IPP exp) and non-deep inspiration (IPP insp) respectively, calculating the mean of IPP exp and IPP insp. After outflowing 500 ml of the dialysate solution, we measured the aIPP again utilizing the same procedure. As a result, aIPP was measured two times for each participant. All the measurements were performed by two skillful nurses, which had
