Peritoneal dialysis for acute kidney injury: Equations for dosing in pandemics, disasters, and beyond.

CONCLUSIONS: The equations are intended as a practical tool to estimate solute clearances and guide prescription of continuous PD. The estimated dialysate volume required for any dose target can be calculated from cycle duration or dwell volume. However, the exact target dose of PD is uncertain and should be adjusted according to the clinical circumstances and response to treatment. The equations presented in this article facilitate the adjustment of PD prescription toward the targeted solute clearance. PMID: 33174468 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
