Differences in predicting glucose absorption from peritoneal dialysate compared to measured absorption in peritoneal dialysis patients treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and ambulatory peritoneal dialysis cyclers.

CONCLUSION: Although formally measuring peritoneal glucose absorption is time consuming and requires patient co-operation, current predictive equations overestimate glucose absorption and do not provide accurate estimations of glucose absorption particularly for automated peritoneal dialysis patients.
