Routine Monitoring of Sodium and Phosphorus Removal in Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Patients Treated with Continuous Ambulatory PD (CAPD), Automated PD (APD) or Combined CAPD+APD

Individualized adjustments of PD prescription including icodextrin use or higher glucose concentration can improve Na removal while P removal is mainly determined by the dialysate volume.Kidney Blood Press Res 2017;42:257 –266
