A Patient in China on Peritoneal Dialysis for More than 20 Years

Abstract

Figure 3 -This peritoneal equilibration test with discrepant results was performed when the patient had a serum glucose level of 273 mg/dL. The 4-hour creatinine dialysate/plasma ratio (D/P) indicates high-average membrane characteristics and the 4-hour dialysate glucose/dialysate glucose at time 0 (D/D 0 ) indicates a low-average membrane classification.

The Clinical Course and Peritoneal Function in a Patient under Peritoneal Dialysis for over 30 Years

“…The longevity of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the many important factors when choosing the modality for renal replacement therapy.

Successful Long-Term Peritoneal Dialysis in Combination with Once-Weekly Hemodialysis: A Case Report
