Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Adult patients that initiated unplanned PD on treatment with APD for at least 90 days and with a recent peritoneal equilibration test (PET) showing a Dialysate/Plasma creatinine of higher than 0.50; low-average; highaverage or high transporter have been included in the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria include life expectancy of lower than1 year at baseline, positive sorology for human imunodeficiency virus (HIV); a peritonitis episode preceding the randomization by 1 month; any hospitalization due to cardiovascular, metabolic or infectious disease in the month preceding randomization; any known active cancer; pregnancy; and known allergy to icodextrin 7.5%
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be to assess the failure of the technique, that is, peritoneal dialysis. It is expected that the failure of the technique is greater in the control group. Failure of the technique will be defined as the change of dialysis method from peritoneal to hemodialysis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes will be to assess the volume control of both groups. It is expected that blood volume control is worse in the control group. The volume control will be determined through pressure control, weight and total body water measured by bioimpedance. | — |
