Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in ultrafiltration volume with dextrose peritoneal dialysis solution after 8 weeks of the treatment period (ultrafiltration volume is the average of 5 days excluding the maximum and minimum days out of 7 consecutive days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
(1) Changes in NT-proBNP and BNP (2) Changes in FAST PET-related factors: ultrafiltration volume, sodium, potassium, glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid,protein,IL-6, CA-125, dialysate to serum creatinine ratio (3) Changes in 24-hour urine-related factors: urine volume, sodium, potassium, glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, urine protein,urea clearance, creatinine clearance (mean of urea and creatinine clearance) (4) urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (5) Changes in anemia-related factors: hemoglobin, hematocrit, ferritin, transferrin saturation (6) Changes in body weight and blood pressure (7) Changes in body composition: intracellular fluid volume, extracellular fluid volume, fluid overload (8) Adverse events
