Peritoneal dialysis
Dr Ejaz Ahmed
Barrier to transport
• Mesothelium– Does not hinder transport
• Interstitium– Hinders transport to some extent
• Endothelium– Main barrier
Peritoneal transport principles
• Diffusion– Depends on concentration gradient
• Convection(filtration)– Depends on hydrostatic pressure and osmotic
pressure
Diffusion
• Dr=p×a×c
• Dr=diffusion rate• P=solute permeability• A=area of membrane• C=concentration gradient
Ultrafiltration
• UFr=p×a×(Hp+Op)
– UFr=ultrafiltration rate– P=permeability of water– A=surface area– Hp=hydrostatic pressure gradient– Op=osmotic pressure gradient
Material of catheter
• Silicone rubber– Milky white material
• Polyurethane– Clear material
Catheter design
• Three portions– Intraperitoneal– Extraperitoneal– External
• Cuffs– Dacron material– One or two
Placement of catheter
• Open surgical placement
• Peritoneoscopic placement
• Blind placement
Proper location of catheter
• Intraperitoneal portion– Directed towards pelvis
• Cuff– Deep: within medial or lateral border of rectus
sheath– Superficial: about 2 cms from skin exit

Composition of peritoneal dialysis fluid
Osmotic agents
• Low molecular weight– Glucose- 1.5%,2.5%,4.25%– Glycerol– Amino acids
• High molecular weight– Albumin– Glucose polymer– peptides
Clearance
• Theoretical concept• “Volume of plasma from which all the substance has been
removed and excreted into the urine per unit time”
Amount excreted = Urine volume x urine concentration
Excretion rate = Urine volume x urine concentration
Time
Clearance Example
Clearance of a substance x• Excretion rate = 100 mg/ml x 1 ml = 100 mg/min
1 minute• Concentration of substance x in plasma = 1 mg/ml• Amount of plasma cleared per minute =
100 mg/min = 100 ml
1 mg/ml
Clearance = U x V
T x P

Small solute clearance
• Urea clearance (Kt/V)– Normalised to total body water
• Creatinine clearance (CrCl)– Normalised to body surface area
Total clearance
• Sum of– Residual renal clearance– Peritoneal dialysis clearance
Method of calculating dialysate clearance of urea
• 24 hr collection of peritoneal dialysate effluent
• Measure urea concentration in dialysate
• Estimate total urea content– Urea concentration × volume of effluent
• Calculate clearance– Kt = Urea content in dialysate
Serum urea level
Method of calculating renal clearance of urea
• Collect 24 hr urine
• Measure urea concentration in urine
• Estimate total urea content– Urea concentration × urine volume
• Calculate renal clearence of urea– Kt = Urea content in urine
serum urea level
Total and normalised clearance
• Total clearance– Dialysate clearance + renal clearance
• Normalised clearance (Kt/V)– Dialysate clearance + renal clearance
Total body water
Calculate clearance
• A 50 yr old man weighing 66 Kg has no urine output. He is on CAPD with four 2.5 L exchanges daily. His blood urea is 160 mg/dl and dialysate urea concentration of 24 hr collection is 140 mg/dl.calculate his daily clearance
Complications of peritoneal dialysis
• Mechanical complication of catheter– Catheter obstruction/inadequate drain– Perforation and laceration of organs– Peritoneal catheter leaks
• Infectious complications– Exit site infection– Peritonitis
Clinical presentation of peritonitis(percentages)
Cloudy fluid 98-100
Abdominal pain 67-97
Abdominal tenderness 62-79
Fever 34-36
Chills 18-23
Nausea 30-35
Vomiting 25-30
Diarrhoea 7-15
Route of entry for peritonitis
• Touch contamination
• Catheter related
• Enteric
• Haematogenous
• Gynaecological
Organisms causing peritonitis
• Gram-positive– Staphylococcus epidermidis– Staphylococcus aureus– Streptococcus– Enterococcus
• Gram-negative
• Fungal
• Mycobacterial
Differential diagnosis of cloudy effluent
• Infectious peritonitis
• Eosinophilic peritonitis
• Sclerosing peritonitis
• Chylous ascites
• Malignant ascites
• Pancreatitis
• Chemical peritonitis
Treatment of peritonitis
• Antibiotics– Intraperitoneal route
• Continuous• Intermitent
– Intravenous route
• Pain control
Outcome and sequelae
• Resolution-60-90%• Abscess formation-1%• Transfer to hemodialysis(technique failure)-30%• Sclerosing peritonitis-1-2%• Death-1-6%
Types of peritoneal dialysis
• Manual– CAPD-Continuous ambulatory peritoneal
dialysis
• Automated– CCPD-Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis– NIPD-Nocturnal intermittent peritoneal dialysis– TDP-Tidal peritoneal dialysis

Peritoneal transport assessment
• PET test– Concentration of creatinine in dialysis solution
at four hrs– Concentration of creatinine in plasma at same
time– Ratio of dialysate creatinine to plasma
creatinine is calculated– Subject is classified into different transporter
group
Improving outcomes: equal or better survival in first 2–3 years
Better preservation of RRF versus HD
Higher haemoglobin levels; less erythropoietin use
Preservation of vascular access for HD
Provides continuous UF for improved blood pressure and volume control
Better outcomes post-transplant
Less risk of acquiring blood borne virus (hepatitis C)
Patient benefits including more flexible holidays and travel and higher employment rates; better quality of life than maintenance HD
Ability to expand patient numbers in a dialysis centre with limited need for resources and major capital investments
Lower staff to patient ratio than maintenance HD
Less costly than maintenance HD
