Sodium loss, extracellular volume overload and hypertension in peritoneal dialysis patients treated by automated peritoneal dialysis cyclers.
CONCLUSION: Heavier peritoneal dialysis patients with greater estimated dietary protein intake (protein nitrogen appearance), those with greater residual renal function and peritoneal clearances, along with lower co-morbidity, had greater daily sodium losses. Adjusting for body weight, then sodium losses were greater with higher daily urine output, and lower in patients with proportionately more body fat and co-morbidity. Sodium losses would appear to primarily determined by body size and not associated with hypertension or extracellular water expansion.
