What is Physioneal?

What is Physioneal?

PHYSIONEAL 40 bicarbonate/lactate based peritoneal dialysis solutions with a physiological pH are particularly indicated in patients in whom solutions based on lactate buffer only, with a low pH, cause abdominal inflow pain or discomfort.

What is various glucose concentration in PD solution?

Conventional peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions are characterized by several undesirable characteristics, including acidic pH (5.2–5.5), high glucose concentrations (13.6–42.5 g/L), hyperosmolarity (360–511 mOsm/kg) and relatively high concentrations of glucose degradation products (GDPs).

What is extraneal peritoneal dialysis solution?

Extraneal (icodextrin peritoneal dialysis solution) is an isosmotic peritoneal dialysis solution containing glucose polymers (icodextrin) as the primary osmotic agent. Icodextrin functions as a colloid osmotic agent to achieve. ultrafiltration during long peritoneal dialysis dwells.

What is a normal UF in peritoneal dialysis?

The UF is usually between 200-500cc. He is an average high transporter. Patient is not fluid overloaded.

Why is extraneal used?

Extraneal is recommended as a once daily replacement for a single glucose exchange as part of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) regimen for the treatment of chronic renal failure, particularly for patients who have lost ultrafiltration on glucose solutions.

When do you use extraneal?

Extraneal is recommended for use during the longest dwell period, i.e. in CAPD usually overnight and in APD for the long daytime dwell. The mode of therapy, frequency of treatment, exchange volume, duration of dwell and length of dialysis should be initiated and supervised by the physician.

Is extraneal non glucose based?

Icodextrin (Extraneal) is a high molecular weight glucose polymer developed specifically for use as an alternative osmotic agent to dextrose during the once-daily long-dwell exchange in peritoneal dialysis (PD).

How are UF goals calculated?

For both measures, the UF rate is calculated as UF rate (milliliters per hour per kilogram) = (predialysis weight − postdialysis weight [milliliters])/delivered TT (hours)/postdialysis weight (kilograms).

What is negative UF in peritoneal dialysis?

Ultrafiltration failure means there is not enough fluid crossing the peritoneal membrane. Some things that can cause ultrafiltration to fail include uremia (high blood urea nitrogen), peritonitis (infection of the peritoneal membrane), and high dextrose PD solution (especially 4.25%).

How do you heat EXTRANEAL?

For patient comfort, EXTRANEAL can be warmed to 37°C (98.6°F). Only dry heat should be used (e.g., heating pad, warming plate). Do not immerse EXTRANEAL in water for warming. Do not use a microwave oven to warm EXTRANEAL.

Is EXTRANEAL non glucose based?

Can you skip a day of peritoneal dialysis?

They either skip exchanges or sometimes skip entire treatment days when using CCPD. Skipping PD treatments has been shown to increase the risk of hospitalization and death.
