Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been considered increasingly as a standard renal replacement therapy for two decades. The efficacy of PD can be assessed by peritoneal equilibration test (PET). This efficacy of peritoneal membrane to exchange ions and nutrients can be changeable over time.[1] In fact, the quality of peritoneal efficacy and transfer rate can be important about the quality of renal replacement therapy for a long duration and give strategic clues about the patient clinical outcome. In a cross‑sectional study, 24 cases affected to end stage renal disease were entered to study. The peritoneal efficacy tests were measured after 8 h of fasting by instillation of 2 l of 4.25% dialysate fluid and the measurement of urea, creatinine, and sodium and dextrose concentration in dialysate fluid and plasma levels after 4 h. The PET and metabolic indices results in 16 cases with diabetes and 8 cases without diabetes has been shown in Tables 1 and 2 which show all PET indices include dialysate/plasma of substances such as urea, sodium, creatinine, and dextrose diffusion ratio (D/D0) did not differ in diabetesand nondiabetes, in addition short‑term (5 months in average) and long‑term (24 months in average) had not any effect on PET indices and most metabolic profiles were same between two groups except that in nondiabetes with long‑term PD, albumin falls significantly compared to diabetes.
