Background

Peritoneal equilibrium test (PET) was developed to evaluate peritoneal transport rate on peritoneal dialysis users, being the gold standard. Based on test results, peritoneal transport can be classified as: high, medium high, medium low and low. This classification has clear implications, since it allows making particular recommendations and patients individualized treatment. PET carries long realization time, given this, studies on ionic conductivity show good correlation with creatinine concentration ratio between dialysis product and plasma (D/PCreat), making it novelty on peritoneal function evaluation

Methods

An analytic transversal study was made on 200 patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on ambulatory continuous peritoneal dialysis (ACPD) from nephrology department at Unidad Medica de Alta Especialidad (UMAE) 1 of Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) at Leon, Guanajuato. A modified PET was made, following standardized steps and classifying peritoneal transport, then cut point value of ionic conductivity was determined by under-the-curve analysis (UTC).

Results

Sensible cut values were found, which may allow using ionic conductivity as a suitable test to classify peritoneal transport as low, medium high and high, not so for medium low

Conclusion

Ionic conductivity test shows moderate accuracy to classify peritoneal transport.
