Peritoneal equilibration test in rapid versus slow transporters

Peritoneal equilibration test in rapid versus slow transporters
Differences between rapid and slow transporters during PD. Rapid transporters reach creatinine equilibration more quickly (dialysate-to-plasma creatinine equals one, top panel); have a gradual reduction in dialysate volume after two hours due to glucose absorption (middle panel); and have a reduction in CCr after four hours due to absorption of creatinine with the glucose and fluid (lower panel). Thus, short dwell times are most efficient in these patients.
PD: peritoneal dialysis; CCr: creatinine clearance.
