Abstract
Background Due to the slower dissipation of the osmotic gradient, icodextrin-based solutions, compared to glucose-based solutions, can improve water removal. We investigated scenarios where one icodextrin-based long dwell (Extraneal) replaced two glucose-based exchanges. Methods The three-pore model with icodextrin hydrolysis was used for numerical simulations of a single exchange to investigate the impact of different peritoneal dialysis schedules on fluid and solute removal in patients with different peritoneal solute transfer rates (PSTRs). We evaluated water removal (ultrafiltration, UF), absorbed mass of glucose (AbsGluc) and carbohydrates (AbsCHO, for glucose and glucose polymers), ultrafiltration efficiency (UFE = UF/AbsCHO) per exchange, and specified dwell time, and removed solute mass for sodium (ReNa), urea (ReU), and creatinine (ReCr) for a single peritoneal exchange with 7.5% icodextrin (Extraneal®) and glucose-based solutions (1.36% and 2.27%) and various dwell durations in patients with fast and average PSTRs. Results Introducing 7.5% icodextrin for the long dwell to replace one of three or four glucose-based exchanges per day leads to increased fluid and solute removal and higher UF efficiency for studied transport groups. Replacing two glucose-based exchanges with one icodextrin exchange provides higher or similar water removal and higher daily sodium removal but slightly lower daily removal of urea and creatinine, irrespective of the transport type present in the case of reference prescription with three and four daily exchanges. Conclusion One 7.5% icodextrin can replace two glucose solutions. Unlike glucose-based solutions, it resulted only in minor differences between PSTR groups in terms of water and solute removal with UFE remaining stable up to 16 h.

Abstract
In peritoneal dialysis, ultrafiltration is achieved by adding an osmotic agent into the dialysis fluid. During an exchange with icodextrin-based solution, polysaccharide chains are degraded by α-amylase activity in dialysate, influencing its osmotic properties. We modelled water and solute removal taking into account degradation by α-amylase and absorption of icodextrin from the peritoneal cavity. Data from 16 h dwells with icodextrin-based solution in 11 patients (3 icodextrin-exposed, 8 icodextrin-naïve at the start of the study) on dialysate volume, dialysate concentrations of glucose, urea, creatinine and α-amylase, and dialysate and blood concentrations of seven molecular weight fractions of icodextrin were analysed. The three-pore model was extended to describe hydrolysis of icodextrin by α-amylase. The extended model accurately predicted kinetics of ultrafiltration, small solutes and icodextrin fractions in dialysate, indicating differences in degradation kinetics between icodextrin-naïve and icodextrin-exposed patients. In addition, the model provided information on the patterns of icodextrin degradation caused by α-amylase. Modelling of icodextrin kinetics using an extended three-pore model that takes into account absorption of icodextrin and changes in α-amylase activity in the dialysate provided accurate description of peritoneal transport and information on patterns of icodextrin hydrolysis during long icodextrin dwells.

Abstract
Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a renal replacement technique that requires repeated exposure of the peritoneum to hyperosmolar PD fluids (PDFs). Unfortunately, it promotes alterations of the peritoneal membrane (PM) that affects its functionality, including mesothelial-mesenchymal transition (MMT) of mesothelial cells (MCs), inflammation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis. Glucose is the most used osmotic agent, but it is known to be at least partially responsible, together with its degradation products (GDP), for those changes. Therefore, there is a need for more biocompatible osmotic agents to better maintain the PM. Herein we evaluated the biocompatibility of Steviol glycosides (SG)-based fluids. Methods: The ultrafiltration and transport capacities of SG-containing and glucose-based fluids were analyzed using artificial membranes and an in vivo mouse model, respectively. To investigate the biocompatibility of the fluids, Met-5A and human omental peritoneal MCs (HOMCs) were exposed in vitro to different types of glucose-based PDFs (conventional 4.25% glucose solution with high-GDP level and biocompatible 2.3% glucose solution with low-GDP level), SG-based fluids or treated with TGF-β1. Mice submitted to surgery of intraperitoneal catheter insertion were treated for 40 days with SG- or glucose-based fluids. Peritoneal tissues were collected to determine thickness, MMT, angiogenesis, as well as peritoneal washings to analyze inflammation. Results: Dialysis membrane experiments demonstrated that SG-based fluids at 1.5%, 1%, and 0.75% had a similar trend in weight gain, based on curve slope, as glucose-based fluids. Analyzing transport capacity in vivo, 1% and 0.75% SG-based fluid-exposed nephrectomized mice extracted a similar amount of urea as the glucose 2.3% group. In vitro, PDF with high-glucose (4.25%) and high-GDP content induced mesenchymal markers and angiogenic factors (Snail1, Fibronectin, VEGF-A, FGF-2) and downregulates the epithelial marker E-Cadherin. In contrast, exposition to low-glucose-based fluids with low-GDP content or SG-based fluids showed higher viability and had less MMT. In vivo, SG-based fluids preserved MC monolayer, induced less PM thickness, angiogenesis, leukocyte infiltration, inflammatory cytokines release, and MMT compared with glucose-based fluids. Conclusion: SG showed better biocompatibility as an osmotic agent than glucose in vitro and in vivo, therefore, it could alternatively substitute glucose in PDF.

Aquaporin-1 Facilitates Transmesothelial Water Permeability: In Vitro and Ex Vivo Evidence and Possible Implications in Peritoneal Dialysis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212535.

Abstract
We previously showed that mesothelial cells in human peritoneum express the water channel aquaporin 1 (AQP1) at the plasma membrane, suggesting that, although in a non-physiological context, it may facilitate osmotic water exchange during peritoneal dialysis (PD). According to the three-pore model that predicts the transport of water during PD, the endothelium of peritoneal capillaries is the major limiting barrier to water transport across peritoneum, assuming the functional role of the mesothelium, as a semipermeable barrier, to be negligible. We hypothesized that an intact mesothelial layer is poorly permeable to water unless AQP1 is expressed at the plasma membrane. To demonstrate that, we characterized an immortalized cell line of human mesothelium (HMC) and measured the osmotically-driven transmesothelial water flux in the absence or in the presence of AQP1. The presence of tight junctions between HMC was investigated by immunofluorescence. Bioelectrical parameters of HMC monolayers were studied by Ussing Chambers and transepithelial water transport was investigated by an electrophysiological approach based on measurements of TEA+ dilution in the apical bathing solution, through TEA+-sensitive microelectrodes. HMCs express Zo-1 and occludin at the tight junctions and a transepithelial vectorial Na+ transport. Real-time transmesothelial water flux, in response to an increase of osmolarity in the apical solution, indicated that, in the presence of AQP1, the rate of TEA+ dilution was up to four-fold higher than in its absence. Of note, we confirmed our data in isolated mouse mesentery patches, where we measured an AQP1-dependent transmesothelial osmotic water transport. These results suggest that the mesothelium may represent an additional selective barrier regulating water transport in PD through functional expression of the water channel AQP1.

Abstract
To investigate mechanisms of acid-base changes during peritoneal dialysis (PD), a mathematical model was developed that describes kinetics of peritoneal bicarbonate, CO2, and pH during the dwell with both high and low lactate-containing dialysis fluids. The model was based on a previous modification of the Rippe 3-Pore model of water and solute kinetic transport across the peritoneal membrane during the PD dwell. A central feature of the present modification is an electroneutrality constraint on peritoneal-fluid ion concentrations, which results in the conclusion that peritoneal bicarbonate-concentration kinetics are entirely dependent on the kinetics of the other ions. This new model was able to closely predict peritoneal bicarbonate-concentration kinetics during the dwell. Predictions of total peritoneal bicarbonate-mass kinetics were greater than those of porous, transmembrane bicarbonate transport, suggesting that a portion of bicarbonate comes from CO2 transport, both porous and nonporous and then a partial conversion to bicarbonate. Fitting the model to experimental pH data during the dwell, required addition of a peritoneal CO2 mass-conservation constraint, coupled with the description for peritoneal bicarbonate kinetics. Predicted pH kinetics during the dwell, closely mimicked the experimental data. The conclusion was that the mechanisms describing peritoneal bicarbonate and pH kinetics during PD must include 1) electroneutrality of peritoneal fluid, 2) porous transport of bicarbonate and CO2, 3) nonporous transport of CO2, and 4) CO2 conversion to bicarbonate. These mechanisms are quite different and more complex than the bicarbonate-centered, lactate to acid-generation mechanisms previously proposed.

Abstract
This study answers criticisms by Waniewski et al. of the recent paper by Wolf on peritoneal transport kinetic models. Their criticisms centre on the accuracy of the data used for model fits, the hypothesis presented, which involves changes in glucose membrane parameters at high peritoneal glucose concentration and on the necessary techniques required to achieve accurate model parameter estimation. In response, this article shows that (1) the mean values previously captured from graphical depictions of Heimburger et al. are not different than those captured from the recent Waniewski et al. graphs, (2) a much simpler hypothesis is proposed, which centres on intraperitoneal pressure-induced lymph flow during the dialysis dwell and (3) the finding that the new model predictions, with only two constant parameter values, as estimated by the Powell algorithm, give a closer fit than the Waniewski model, which uses many time-varying parameters. The current findings again bring into question of the validity of their vasodilation hypothesis, leading to transient changes in capillary surface area during the dwell.

Abstract
Lay summary Peritoneal dialysis (PD) uses the peritoneal membrane for dialysis. The peritoneal membrane is a thin layer of tissue that lines the abdomen. The lining is used as a filter to help remove extra fluid and poisonous waste from the blood. Everybody is unique. What is normal for one person’s membrane may be very different from another person’s. The kidney care team wants to provide each person with the best dialysis prescription for them and to do this they must evaluate the person’s peritoneal lining. Sometimes dialysis treatment itself can cause the membrane to change after some years. This means more assessments (evaluations) will be needed to determine whether the person’s peritoneal membrane has changed. Changes in the membrane may require changes to the dialysis prescription. This is needed to achieve the best dialysis outcomes. A key tool for these assessments is the peritoneal equilibration test (PET). It is a simple, standardized and reproducible tool. This tool is used to measure the peritoneal function soon after the start of dialysis. The goal is to understand how well the peritoneal membrane works at the start of dialysis. Later on in treatment, the PET helps to monitor changes in peritoneal function. If there are changes between assessments causing problems, the PET data may explain the cause of the dysfunction. This may be used to change the dialysis prescription to achieve the best outcomes. The most common problem with the peritoneal membrane occurs when fluid is not removed as well as it should be. This happens when toxins (poisons) in the blood cross the membrane more quickly than they should. This is referred to as a fast peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR). Since more efficient fluid removal is associated with better outcomes, developing a personal PD prescription based on the person’s PSTR is critically important. A less common problem happens when the membrane fails to work properly (also called membrane dysfunction) because the peritoneal membrane is less efficient, either at the start of treatment or developing after some years. If membrane dysfunction gets worse over time, then this is associated with progressive damage, scarring and thickening of the membrane. This problem can be identified through another change of the PET. It is called reduced ‘sodium dip’. Membrane dysfunction of this type is more difficult to treat and has many implications for the individual. If the damage is major, the person may need to stop PD. They would need to begin haemodialysis treatment (also spelled hemodialysis). This is a very important and emotional decision for individuals with kidney failure. Any decision that involves stopping PD therapy or transitioning to haemodialysis therapy should be made jointly between the clinical team, the person on dialysis and a caregiver, if requested. Although evidence is lacking about how often tests should be performed to determine peritoneal function, it seems reasonable to repeat them whenever there is difficulty in removing the amount of fluid necessary for maintaining the health and well-being of the individual. Whether routine evaluation of membrane function is associated with better outcomes has not been studied. Further research is needed to answer this important question as national policies in many parts of the world and the COVID-19 has placed a greater emphasis and new incentives encouraging the greater adoption of home dialysis therapies, especially PD. For Chinese and Spanish Translation of the Lay Summary, see Online Supplement Appendix 1. Key recommendations Guideline 1: A pathophysiological taxonomy: A pathophysiological classification of membrane dysfunction, which provides mechanistic links to functional characteristics, should be used when prescribing individualized dialysis or when planning modality transfer (e.g. to automated peritoneal dialysis (PD) or haemodialysis) in the context of shared and informed decision-making with the person on PD, taking individual circumstances and treatment goals into account. (practice point) Guideline 2a: Identification of fast peritoneal solute transfer rate (PSTR): It is recommended that the PSTR is determined from a 4-h peritoneal equilibration test (PET), using either 2.5%/2.27% or 4.25%/3.86% dextrose/glucose concentration and creatinine as the index solute. (practice point) This should be done early in the course dialysis treatment (between 6 weeks and 12 weeks) (GRADE 1A) and subsequently when clinically indicated. (practice point) Guideline 2b: Clinical implications and mitigation of fast solute transfer: A faster PSTR is associated with lower survival on PD. (GRADE 1A) This risk is in part due to the lower ultrafiltration (UF) and increased net fluid reabsorption that occurs when the PSTR is above the average value. The resulting lower net UF can be avoided by shortening glucose-based exchanges, using a polyglucose solution (icodextrin), and/or prescribing higher glucose concentrations. (GRADE 1A) Compared to glucose, use of icodextrin can translate into improved fluid status and fewer episodes of fluid overload. (GRADE 1A) Use of automated PD and icodextrin may mitigate the mortality risk associated with fast PSTR. (practice point) Guideline 3: Recognizing low UF capacity: This is easy to measure and a valuable screening test. Insufficient UF should be suspected when either (a) the net UF from a 4-h PET is <400 ml (3.86% glucose/4.25% dextrose) or <100 ml (2.27% glucose /2.5% dextrose), (GRADE 1B) and/or (b) the daily UF is insufficient to maintain adequate fluid status. (practice point) Besides membrane dysfunction, low UF capacity can also result from mechanical problems, leaks or increased fluid absorption across the peritoneal membrane not explained by fast PSTR. Guideline 4a: Diagnosing intrinsic membrane dysfunction (manifesting as low osmotic conductance to glucose) as a cause of UF insufficiency: When insufficient UF is suspected, the 4-h PET should be supplemented by measurement of the sodium dip at 1 h using a 3.86% glucose/4.25% dextrose exchange for diagnostic purposes. A sodium dip ≤5 mmol/L and/or a sodium sieving ratio ≤0.03 at 1 h indicates UF insufficiency. (GRADE 2B) Guideline 4b: Clinical implications of intrinsic membrane dysfunction (de novo or acquired): in the absence of residual kidney function, this is likely to necessitate the use of hypertonic glucose exchanges and possible transfer to haemodialysis. Acquired membrane injury, especially in the context of prolonged time on treatment, should prompt discussions about the risk of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. (practice point) Guideline 5: Additional membrane function tests: measures of peritoneal protein loss, intraperitoneal pressure and more complex tests that estimate osmotic conductance and ‘lymphatic’ reabsorption are not recommended for routine clinical practice but remain valuable research methods. (practice point) Guideline 6: Socioeconomic considerations: When resource constraints prevent the use of routine tests, consideration of membrane function should still be part of the clinical management and may be inferred from the daily UF in response to the prescription. (practice point)

Abstract
The transitory change of fluid and solute transport parameters occurring during the initial phase of a peritoneal dialysis dwell is a well-documented phenomenon; however, its physiological interpretation is rather hypothetical and has been disputed. Two different explanations were proposed: (1) the prevailing view-supported by several experimental and clinical studies-is that a vasodilatory effect of dialysis fluid affects the capillary surface area available for dialysis, and (2) a recently presented alternative explanation is that the molecular radius of glucose increases due to the high glucose concentration in fresh dialysis fluid and that this change affects peritoneal transport parameters. The experimental bases for both phenomena are discussed as well as the problem of the accuracy necessary for a satisfactory description of clinical data when the three-pore model of peritoneal transport is applied. We show that the correction for the change of transport parameters with dwell time provides a better fit with clinical data when applying the three-pore model. Our conclusion is in favor of the traditional interpretation namely that the transitory change of transport parameters with dwell time during peritoneal dialysis is primarily due to the vasodilatory effect of dialysis fluids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrafiltration failure (UFF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is due to altered peritoneal transport properties leading to reduced capacity to remove excess water. Here, with the aim to establish the role of local alterations of the two major transport barriers, peritoneal tissue and capillary wall, we investigate changes in overall peritoneal transport characteristics in UFF patients in relation to corresponding local alterations of peritoneal tissue and capillary wall transport properties. METHODS Six-hour dwell studies using 3.86% glucose solutions and radioisotopically labelled serum albumin added to dialysate as a volume marker were analysed in 31 continuous ambulatory PD patients, 20 with normal ultrafiltration (NUF) and 11 with UFF. For each patient, the physiologically based parameters were evaluated for both transport barriers using the spatially distributed approach based on the individual intraperitoneal profiles of volume and concentrations of glucose, sodium, urea and creatinine. RESULTS UFF patients as compared with NUF patients had increased solute diffusivity in both barriers, peritoneal tissue and capillary wall, decreased tissue hydraulic conductivity and increased local lymphatic absorption and functional decrease in the fraction of the ultra-small pores. This resulted in altered distribution of fluid and solutes in the peritoneal tissue, and decreased penetration depths of fluid and solutes into the tissue in UFF patients. CONCLUSIONS Mathematical modelling using a spatially distributed approach for the description of clinical data suggests that alterations both in the capillary wall and in the tissue barrier contribute to UFF through their effect on transport and distribution of solutes and fluid within the tissue.

Abstract
Background We evaluated the effect of icodextrin on peritoneal permeability and inflammation in an experimental chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) model with repeated dwell studies (DSs) in non uremic rats. Methods Male Wistar rats with implanted peritoneal catheters were infused twice daily for 3 weeks with 20 mL Dianeal 3.86% (Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL, U.S.A.) ( n = 11) or icodextrin 7.5% ( n = 12). After 10 days (DS1) and 21 days (DS2), a 4-hour DS using 30 mL icodextrin solution was performed in conscious animals. Radioiodinated serum albumin (RISA) was used as a macromolecular volume marker. Blood samples were drawn before the start of the dwell and at its end. Results We observed a steady increase in intraperitoneal volume (IPV) versus dwell time (0 – 240 minutes) during DS1 and DS2 in both groups. No significant differences in peritoneal permeability to solutes were observed between the groups. However, in both groups, IPV volume was significantly higher during DS2 after the 4-hour dwell time [IPV icodextrin: 34.4 ± 1.4 mL (DS1), 35.4 ± 1.1 mL (DS2), p < 0.002; IPV Dianeal: 34.2 ± 0.9 mL (DS1), 35.2 ± 0.7 mL (DS2), p < 0.01]. Conclusion Changes of peritoneal permeability seen during in vivo experimental models of chronic peritoneal dialysis in rats with repeated dwell studies are comparable to results obtained in humans on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).

Abstract
Background In peritoneal dialysis, approximately 40% of the total osmotic ultrafiltration (UF) induced by glucose can be predicted to be due to “free” water transport across aquaporin-1 (APQ-1). Theoretically, it would be possible to assess the fraction of free water transport in the early phase of a hypertonic dwell, when UF rate is high and the relative contribution of Na+ diffusion is low. La Milia et al. [La Milia V. et al. Fast-fast peritoneal equilibration test (FAST-FAST-PET): a simple method for peritoneal hydraulic permeability study [Abstract]. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2002; 17 (Suppl 1):17–18] suggested a technique to assess sodium-associated water transport based on sodium removal (Na+R) divided by the plasma Na+ concentration during a “fast-fast” (60 minute) peritoneal equilibration test (PET) for 3.86% glucose, yielding an estimate of the UF passing through the small pores (UFSP). Free water transport (UF through ultrasmall pores; UFUSP) was obtained by subtracting UFSP from total UF. Although peritoneal Na+ transport is almost totally convective, this technique will slightly overestimate small-pore UF due to the presence of some small-pore Na+ diffusion from the circulation during the dwell. A way of dealing with this problem was presented recently by Smit (Smit W. et al. Quantification of free water transport in peritoneal dialysis. Kidney Int 2004; 66:849–854). Methods In the present study we used the three-pore model of peritoneal transport to predict the degree of overestimation of UFSP for the technique presented by La Milia et al., and any potential deviations from theory for the technique presented by Smit et al. Simulations were performed under ordinary conditions and during simulated UF failure for 3.86% glucose. The fractional UF coefficient accounted for by APQ-1 was set at 2%. Results Estimating the UFSP from the sodium-associated water transport according to the method by La Milia et al. consistently overestimated UFSP and underestimated UFUSP. These errors were, however, minimal for dwells lasting between 30 and 80 minutes. The technique by Smit et al. to calculate aquaporin-mediated water flow (UFUSP), using an elaborate correction for Na+ diffusion from the circulation during the dwell, seemed accurate in most situations but, in general, tended to moderately overestimate UFUSP at early dwell times (<30 minutes) and underestimate UFUSP at long dwell times (4 hours). Conclusions The technique presented by La Milia et al. to calculate free water transport during a fast-fast PET was found to be surprisingly accurate, although the procedure would further improve by the introduction of a correction algorithm. The technique by Smit is even more accurate for dwells up to 4 hours’ duration. However, since the Smit technique is elaborate, it is less practical for routine determinations of aquaporin-mediated water transport in peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
Objective Concerns regarding the impact of ultrafiltration failure on peritoneal dialysis and the effect of hypertonic glucose on the peritoneal membrane have lead to a search for alternative dialysates. Computer simulations based on the three-pore theory suggest that a combination of 1.36% glucose and 7.5% icodextrin (glucose polymer) offers an improved ultrafiltration profile. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ultrafiltration profile of this combination fluid. Design Prospective open study comparing 1.36% glucose, 3.86% glucose, 7.5% icodextrin, and the combination fluid (1.36% glucose/7.5% icodextrin). Setting Sheffield Kidney Institute, Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, UK. Patients 11 patients currently using peritoneal dialysis not previously exposed to icodextrin. Main Outcome Measure Intraperitoneal volume was measured using a radioisotope dilution method. Results The combination fluid showed a biphasic ultrafiltration profile, with a steep initial increase in intraperitoneal volume, then a maintained plateau phase for the duration of the study dwell (7 hours). The final volume was greater than that with the 1.36% glucose dwell and the 7.5% icodextrin dwell. The fluid was well tolerated by the patients. Conclusions These findings are in keeping with computer simulations using the three-pore model. The combination fluid offers an improved ultrafiltration profile, with a final volume similar to 3.86% glucose, while avoiding exposing the peritoneal membrane to high glucose concentrations. It may have a role as a long dwell to optimize ultrafiltration and possibly prolong peritoneal dialysis technique survival.

Abstract
In the present review, we summarize the principles governing the transport of fluid and electrolytes across the peritoneum during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in “average” patients and during ultrafiltration failure (UFF), according to the three-pore model of peritoneal transport. The UF volume curves as a function of dwell time [V( t)] are determined in their early phase by the glucose osmotic conductance [product of the UF coefficient (LpS) and the glucose reflection coefficient (σg)] of the peritoneum; in their middle portion by intraperitoneal volume and glucose diffusivity; and in their late portion by the LpS, Starling forces, and lymph flow. The most common cause of UFF is increased transport of small solutes (glucose) across the peritoneum, whereas the LpS is only moderately affected. Concerning peritoneal ion transport, ions that are already more or less fully equilibrated across the membrane at the start of the dwell, such as Na+(Cl–), Ca2+, and Mg2+, have a convection-dominated transport. The removal of these ions is proportional to UF volume (approximately 10 mmol/L Na+and 0.12 mmol/L Ca2+removed per deciliter UF in 4 hours).The present article examines the impact on fluid and solute transport of varying concentrations of Ca2+and Na+in peritoneal dialysis solutions. Particularly, the effect of “ultralow” sodium solutions on transport and UF is simulated and discussed. Ions with high initial concentration gradients across the peritoneum, such as K+, phosphate, and bicarbonate, display a diffusion-dominated transport. The transport of these ions can be adequately described by non-electrolyte equations. However, for ions that are in (or near) their diffusion equilibrium over the peritoneum (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+), more complex ion transport equations need to be used. Due to the complexity of these equations, however, non-electrolyte transport formalism is commonly employed, which leads to a marked underestimation of mass transfer area coefficients (PS). This can be avoided by determining the PS when transperitoneal ion concentration gradients are steep.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to apply high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with modern gel filtration media to determine high molecular weight (HMW) icodextrin fractions and low molecular weight (LMW) icodextrin metabolites in dialysate and plasma in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients on treatment with icodextrin, and to explore the potential relationships between these compounds, α-amylase activity, and glomerular filtration rate. Design Retrospective study of dialysate and plasma samples from PD patients. Setting Samples were collected at one PD center. Patients Blood and dialysate samples were obtained from PD patients who were subdivided into three groups: patients using only glucose-based peritoneal dialysis fluid (GPDF; GLU group, n = 23), patients studied after the first long dwell with icodextrin-based peritoneal dialysis fluid (IPDF; 1st ICO group, n = 24), and patients who were regular users of IPDF for the long dwells (ICO group, n = 9). Methods LMW icodextrin metabolites [ i.e., maltose (G2), maltotriose (G3), maltotetraose (G4), maltopentaose (G5), maltohexaose (G6), and maltoheptaose (G7)] and HMW fractions were determined in plasma and dialysate using two different gel filtration HPLC methods. Enzymatic hydrolysis with amyloglucosidase to glucose yielded the total carbohydrate content and this was used to validate the HPLC results. α-Amylase activity was determined using a routine method. Results The results obtained by gel filtration HPLC yielded values of LMW metabolites and HMW fractions in plasma and dialysate in agreement with results obtained with enzymatic hydrolysis. HMW fractions were not detectable in plasma. Absorption of icodextrin from the peritoneal cavity during the long dwell (10 – 16 hours) was, on average, 39% of the amount instilled. During the long dwell, there was a relative decrease in the dialysate concentration of the largest HMW fractions (>21.4 kDa). Plasma concentration of the LMW icodextrin metabolites G2–G7 was highest in the ICO group (2.65 ± 0.54 mg/mL) but also higher in the 1st ICO group (1.97 ± 0.57 mg/mL) compared with the GLU group (0.52 ± 0.23 mg/mL). Plasma α-amylase activity was significantly lower in the 1st ICO group and in the ICO group compared with the GLU group. Conclusions Accurate analysis of HMW icodextrin fractions in dialysate and LMW icodextrin metabolites in plasma and dialysate in PD patients can be achieved by gel filtration HPLC with two different columns. This method can be used to study the complex pattern of changes in icodextrin and its metabolites in plasma and dialysate. The finding that HMW icodextrin fractions were not detected in plasma was unexpected, and differs from results of previous studies by other researchers.

Abstract
The successful development of peritoneal dialysis (PD) during the last two decades has been made possible by using well-established glucose-based solutions with lactate as buffer. On the other hand, awareness has been increasing about the potentially negative effects of the high concentrations of glucose and lactate, and the low pH of conventional PD solutions. This awareness has prompted an intensive effort to search for and test alternative solutions.As a result, three new, more biocompatible solutions— containing either less glucose or less lactate—are available. Amino acid–based solution uses amino acids instead of glucose as the osmotic agent; it is indicated for treatment of malnutrition. The higher pH and absence of glucose in this solution may prevent alterations of the peritoneal membrane caused by acidity and high glucose concentrations. Bicarbonate/lactate–buffered solution contains a physiologic concentration of bicarbonate and a reduced concentration of lactate; it also has a physiologic pH and markedly reduced levels of glucose degradation products (GDPs). Icodextrin-based solution contains icodextrin as the osmotic agent; it is indicated for long dwells, delivering sustained ultrafiltration for more than 16 hours. This iso-osmolar glucose-free solution may reduce peritoneal membrane alterations caused by glucose or the hyperosmolality (or both) of conventional solutions.Clinical experience of the new solutions is now extensive, and their efficacy and safety are well documented. It therefore seems appropriate to state that we have entered a new era of PD therapy. Each of the new solutions may be less damaging to the peritoneal membrane than conventional solution. In addition, they permit better management of malnutrition and fluid status, and may thus help to improve PD patient survival.Although the effects of each of these new solutions have been well described, clinical documentation of the combined use of these new biocompatible PD solutions is still insufficient. However, the results of studies are expected, during the coming years, to support the combined use of the new solutions as the preferred standard practice for PD.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are not stable when exposed to energy; they degrade into new molecules. In peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids, degradation of glucose occurs during the heat sterilization procedure. The biological consequences of this degradation are side effects such as impaired proliferation and impaired host defense mechanisms, demonstrated in vitro for a great variety of cells.Several highly toxic compounds—such as formaldehyde and 3-deoxyglucosone—have been identified in PD fluids. Carbonyl compounds, apart from being cytotoxic, are also well-known promoters of irreversible advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which might participate in the long-term remodeling of the peritoneal membrane.Various approaches can be used to reduce the formation of glucose degradation products (GDPs) during heat sterilization. Some examples are shortening the sterilization time, lowering the pH, removing catalyzing substances, and increasing glucose concentration. The latter three factors are employed in the multi-compartment bag with a separate chamber containing pure glucose at high concentration and low pH.Gambrosol trio, a PD fluid produced in this way, shows reduced cytotoxicity, normalized host defense reactions, less AGE formation, and reduced concentrations of formaldehyde and 3-deoxyglucosone. Moreover, in the clinical situation, the fluid turns out to be more biocompatible for the patient, causing less mesothelial cell damage, which in the long term could lead to a more intact peritoneal membrane.ConclusionGlucose degradation products in heat-sterilized fluids for peritoneal dialysis are cytotoxic, promote AGE formation, and cause negative side effects for the patient. Using improved and well-controlled manufacturing processes, it is possible to produce sterile PD fluids with glucose as the osmotic agent but without the negative side effects related to GDPs.

Abstract
BackgroundPlasma α–amylase activity is elevated in uremic patients but lower in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients using icodextrin in comparison to healthy controls. We studied the rate by which an exogenous oligosaccharide (maltoheptaose; G7) is degraded ex vivo by amylase in plasma from PD patients treated with glucose or icodextrin PD solutions.MethodsPlasma amylase (pancreatic and total) activity and concentration were measured in 11 controls and in PD patients treated with glucose ( n = 11) and icodextrin ( n = 19). The plasma was spiked with G7 and/or synthetic amylase and the metabolites formed were measured by HPLC following incubation at 37°C for 4 hours.ResultsThe relationship between amylase activity and amylase concentration was similar in all patients and controls. The G7 degradation rate was slower in plasma from icodextrin patients but it was also reduced in patients using glucose compared with the controls, in spite of the higher amylase activity in the glucose group. Normalization (by spiking) of patient plasma with porcine amylase increased but did not normalize the speed of G7 degradation. At a given endogenous amylase activity level, the efficiency of G7 degradation was similar for both patient groups.ConclusionsAn ex vivo model to study the relationship between amylase activity and the actual rate of carbohydrate (represented by G7) breakdown was developed and showed that PD patients using glucose and icodextrin degrade G7 at a slower speed than controls. This suggests that amylase-mediated carbohydrate metabolism is reduced in PD patients. Further clinical studies are needed to confirm if these findings hold true also in other groups of uremic patients with varying degrees of kidney failure, as well as in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

What is the Optimal Dwell Time for Maximizing Ultrafiltration with Icodextrin Exchange in Automated Peritoneal Dialysis Patients? Perit Dial Int 2020.

Abstract
Background Icodextrin is increasingly being used in automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) for the long dwell exchange to maintain adequate ultrafiltration (UF). However, the UF reported in the literature varies with different dwell times: from 200 to 500 mL with 12 – 15 hour dwells. In order to maximize UF, it is important to know the relationship between dwell time and UF when using icodextrin in APD patients. With this knowledge, decisions can be made with respect to dwell period, and adjustments to the dialysis prescription can be made accordingly. Methods We prospectively studied this relationship in 36 patients from Canada and Turkey. All patients did the icodextrin day exchange manually after disconnecting themselves from overnight cycler dialysis. Dwell period was increased by 1 hour every week, from 10 to 14 hours. Ultra-filtration was noted for each icodextrin exchange. Mean UF for each week ( i.e., dwell period) was compared by repeated measures ANOVA. Results We found no difference in mean UF with increasing dwell time: 351.73 ± 250.59 mL at 10 hours versus 371.75 ± 258.25 mL at 14 hours ( p = 0.83). We also compared mean UF between different subgroups and found that males ( p = 0.02 vs females) and high transporters ( p = 0.04 vs low) had higher mean UF. Further analysis of maximal UF showed no correlation to age, sex, diabetic status, transport category, creatinine clearance, Kt/V, duration on peritoneal dialysis, or duration of icodextrin use. Conclusion Icodextrin-related UF in APD patients is not related to demographic factors and does not increase significantly beyond 10 hours.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe three-pore model of peritoneal transport is used extensively for modeling peritoneal fluid and solute transport, but the currently used versions include certain modifications of the transport parameters that have not been validated quantitatively versus detailed data on fluid and solute kinetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate different versions of the three-pore model.MethodDetailed clinical peritoneal fluid and solute transport data were obtained from 40 peritoneal dwell studies in clinically stable continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients in whom the dialysate volume was measured using a macromolecular volume marker (RISA).ResultsUsing a new version of the three-pore model with several adjusted transport parameters, good agreement between the measured and the simulated values of dialysate volume and concentrations of small solutes and RISA (but not of endogenous protein) versus dwell time was obtained; however, the predicted peritoneal absorption for longer than the investigated dwell time would be too high.ConclusionThe three-pore model, with some adjustments proposed in this study, may be used for detailed description of peritoneal transport kinetics, but it should be pointed out that, even after these adjustments, it still does not provide the correct description of peritoneal fluid absorption and transport of macromolecules.

Abstract
Objective To validate the use of a modified three-pore model for predicting fluid transport during long dwell exchanges that use a 7.5% icodextrin solution. Design A nonrandomized, single group, repeated measures study. Patients Ten peritoneal dialysis patients underwent a single 8-hour exchange of a 7.5% icodextrin solution. All patients were naïve to icodextrin. Main Outcome Measures A modified three-pore model was used to model solute and fluid transport during each 8-hour exchange. Concordance correlation coefficients were used to estimate the level of agreement between modeled and measured values of net ultrafiltration (UF) and intraperitoneal volume. Methods Each patient underwent a modified 8-hour standard peritoneal permeability analysis using a 2-L 7.5% icodextrin exchange. Dextran 70 was added to the icodextrin solution as volume marker to estimate fluid transport kinetics. Transcapillary UF, fluid absorption, and intraperitoneal volumes were assessed via the volume marker at 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 300, 360, 420, and 480 minutes. Results There was strong agreement (concordance correlation = 0.9856) between net UF as measured by the volume marker data and net UF as modeled using the modified three-pore model implemented in PD Adequest (Baxter Healthcare, Deerfield, Illinois, USA). Conclusions Net UF and intraperitoneal volumes for long dwell exchanges using a 7.5% icodextrin solution can be accurately modeled with a modified three-pore model. Steady state icodextrin plasma levels are needed to accurately predict net UF for chronic users of icodextrin.

Abstract
Background Optimization of ultrafiltration and preservation of the peritoneal membrane are desirable objectives in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Mixtures of glucose-and non-glucose-based solutions may help to meet both targets simultaneously. Aim To analyze the effects, in terms of ultrafiltration and peritoneal glucose load, of including icodextrin-based dialysate in the nocturnal schedule of patients undergoing automated PD (APD). Method Following a randomized crossover design, 17 APD patients underwent two 10-day study periods under identical prescription (including amino acid-based solution for the night schedule), except for the substitution of 2 L glucose-based dialysate in the nocturnal mixture (control) by a similar amount of icodextrin-based dialysate (icodextrin phase) in one period. Dependent variables included ultra-filtration, sodium removal, peritoneal glucose load, and residual renal function. We measured serum and urine levels of icodextrin metabolites at the end of each phase. Results Ultrafiltration was marginally higher during the icodextrin phase (median 815 vs 763 mL/day, p = 0.07), while peritoneal sodium removal was similar in both phases (74 vs 71 mmol/L/day). Peritoneal glucose load (median 67.5 vs 104.0 g/day, p < 0.005) and absorption (14.0 vs 35.6 g/day, p < 0.005) were lower during the icodextrin phase. Diuresis was also modestly lower during the icodextrin phase (500 vs 600 mL/day, p < 0.05). Serum levels of icodextrin metabolites were moderately higher in the icodextrin phase ( p < 0.005) in patients both on and off diurnal icodextrin. Conclusion Inclusion of amino acid- and icodextrin-based solutions in the nocturnal schedule of APD patients may allow sustained ultrafiltration and sodium removal while significantly reducing the peritoneal glucose load in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Waniewski postulated a transient increase in peritoneal capillary surface area to fit their model predictions to experimental data of Heimburger measured in renal failure (RF) patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) but with only a 3.86% glucose dialysis fluid. The present aim is to propose a new mathematical model of the patient PD procedure that could closely fit the complete Heimburger measurement set without this postulate. METHODS The three-pore model of Rippe was used to describe transient changes in peritoneal volume and solute concentrations during a PD dwell. The predialysis, RF patient, plasma solute concentrations were assumed to remain constant during the dwell. The model was validated using the 3.86% glucose Heimburger measurements. Permeability surface area product parameters were chosen to match only the end-dwell peritoneal fluid glucose concentration and the end-dwell amounts of urea, creatinine, and Na+ removed from this simulated patient group. Then, this model was used to predict additional measurements by Heimburger on two other patient groups dialyzed with glucose concentrations of 2.27% and 1.36%, respectively. Parameters were unchanged when simulating these other patient groups. RESULTS To match the shape of the transient changes in drained volume and dialysis fluid glucose concentration for the 3.86% glucose group, it was necessary for only one parameter, the effective radius of glucose, to vary linearly in proportion to the dialysis fluid glucose concentration. This description was unchanged in the other two groups. CONCLUSION Postulated transient increases in peritoneal capillary surface area were unnecessary to predict the entire Heimburger measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Steady concentration peritoneal dialysis (SCPD), which maintains transperitoneal osmotic gradient by infusing 50% glucose solution throughout the dwell time, has been proposed as a potent treatment for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with fluid overload. However, SCPD has yet to be explored theoretically. Here, we investigated SCPD via computer simulations. METHODS A model was developed by adding the variables for infusing 50% glucose solution to a traditional three-pore model for continuous ambulatory PD. The simulated scenarios involved the instillation of 2-L dialysate, 1.36% or 2.27%, followed by the infusion of 50% glucose solution, varying the rate from 0 mL/h to 90 mL/h. A dwell with 3.86% dialysate was also simulated for the purpose of comparison. Four sets of patient parameters corresponding to peritoneal transport categories were used. RESULTS The net ultrafiltration (UF) during SCPD increased with time as well as with glucose infusion rate. The glucose absorption and sodium removal of SCPD were slightly higher than those of the conventional dwell with 3.86% dialysate under the condition of the same net UF and dwell time. SCPD resulted in the larger UF and the lower peak intraperitoneal glucose concentration when it was simulated with the higher transport properties. CONCLUSIONS These simulations indicate that SCPD can improve UF beyond those achievable by a conventional 3.86% glucose exchange while also exhibiting a lower peak osmolarity in the dialysate as compared to a conventional 3.86% dwell. However, further studies are needed to confirm these theoretical findings.

Abstract
Background and objective: During peritoneal dialysis (PD), the period of effective net peritoneal ultrafiltration during long dwells can be extended by using the colloidal osmotic agent icodextrin but there are few detailed studies on ultrafiltration with icodextrin solution exceeding 12 h. We analyzed kinetics of peritoneal ultrafiltration in relation to icodextrin and its metabolites for 16-h dwells with icodextrin. Design, setting, participants, and measurements: In 20 clinically stable patients (mean age 54 years; 8 women; mean preceding time on PD 26 months), intraperitoneal dialysate volume (VD) was estimated from dilution of 125I-human serum albumin during 16-h dwell studies with icodextrin 7.5% solution. Sodium was measured in dialysate and plasma. In 11 patients, fractional absorption of icodextrin from dialysate, dialysate, and plasma amylase and high and low (Mw <2 kDa) Mw icodextrin fractions were analyzed. Results: Average VD increased linearly with no difference between transport types. At 16 h, the cumulative net ultrafiltration was 729 ± 337 ml (range −18 to 1,360 ml) and negative in only one patient. Average transcapillary ultrafiltration rate was 1.40 ± 0.36 ml/min, and peritoneal fluid absorption rate was 0.68 ± 0.38 ml/min. During 16 h, 41% of the initial mass of icodextrin was absorbed. Plasma sodium decreased from 138.7 ± 2.4 to 136.5 ± 3.0 mmol/L (p < 0.05). Dialysate glucose G2–G7 oligomers increased due to increase of G2–G4 metabolites while G6–G7 metabolites and higher Mw icodextrin fractions decreased. In plasma maltose and maltotriose (G2–G3 metabolites) increased while higher Mw icodextrin oligomers were almost undetectable. Dialysate amylase increased while plasma amylase decreased. Conclusions: Icodextrin resulted in linear increase of VD with sustained net UF lasting 16 h and with no significant difference between peritoneal transport types. In plasma, sodium and amylase declined, G2–G3 increased whereas larger icodextrin fractions were not detectable. In dialysate, icodextrin mass declined due to decrease of high Mw icodextrin fractions while low Mw metabolites, especially G2–G3, increased. The ability of icodextrin to provide sustained UF during very long dwells – which is usually not possible with glucose-based solutions – is especially important in anuric patients and in patients with fast peritoneal transport.

Abstract
Background It is typically assumed that within short time-frames, patient-specific peritoneal membrane characteristics are constant and do not depend on the initial fluid tonicity and dwell duration. The aim of this study was to check whether this assumption holds when membrane properties are estimated using the 3-pore model (3PM). Methods Thirty-two stable peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients underwent 3 8-hour peritoneal equilibration tests (PETs) with different glucose-based solutions (1.36%, 2.27%, and 3.86%). Temporary drainage was performed at 1 and 4 hours. Glucose, urea, creatinine, sodium, and phosphate concentrations were measured in dialysate and blood samples. Three-pore model parameters were estimated for each patient and each 8-hour PET separately. In addition, model parameters were estimated using data truncated to the initial 4 hours of peritoneal dwell. Results In all cases, model-estimated parameter values were within previously reported ranges. The peritoneal absorption (PA) and diffusive permeability for all solutes except sodium increased with fluid tonicity, with about 18% increase when switching from glucose 2.27% to 3.86%. Glucose peritoneal reflection coefficient and osmotic conductance (OsmCond), and fraction of hydraulic conductance for ultrasmall pores decreased with fluid tonicity (over 40% when switching from glucose 1.36%). Model fitting to the truncated 4-hour data resulted in little change in the parameters, except for PA, peritoneal hydraulic conductance, and OsmCond, for which higher values for the 4-hour dwell were found. Conclusion Initial fluid tonicity has a substantial impact on the 3PM-estimated characteristics of the peritoneal membrane, whereas the impact of dwell duration was relatively small and possibly influenced by the change in the patient's activity.

Abstract
Background:Continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD) is performed using a continuous flux of dialysis fluid via double or dual-lumen PD catheters, allowing a higher dialysate flow rate (DFR) than conventional treatments. While small clinical studies have revealed greatly improved clearances using CFPD, the inability to predict ultrafiltration (UF) may confer a risk of potentially harmful overfill. Here we performed physiological studies of CFPD in silico using the extended 3-pore model.Method:A 9-h CFPD session was simulated for: slow (dialysate to plasma creatinine [D/P crea] < 0.6), fast (D/P crea > 0.8) and average (0.6 ≤ D/P crea ≤ 0.8) transporters using 1.36%, 2.27%, or 3.86% glucose solutions. To avoid overfill, we applied a practical equation, based on the principle of mass-balance, to predict the UF rate during CFPD treatment.Results:Increasing DFR > 100 mL/min evoked substantial increments in small- and middle-molecule clearances, being 2 - 5 times higher compared with a 4-h continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) exchange, with improvements typically being smaller for average and slow transporters. Improved UF rates, exceeding 10 mL/min, were achieved for all transport types. The β2-microglobulin clearance was strongly dependent on the UF rate and increased between 60% and 130% as a function of DFR. Lastly, we tested novel intermittent-continuous regimes as an alternative strategy to prevent overfill, being effective for 1.36% and 2.27%, but not for 3.86% glucose.Conclusion:While we find substantial increments in solute and water clearance with CFPD, previous studies have shown similar improvements using high-volume tidal automated PD (APD). Lastly, the current in silico results need confirmation by studies in vivo.

Abstract
The key physical processes in polymeric filters used for the blood purification include transport across the capillary wall and the interaction of blood cells with the polymer membrane surface. Theoretical modeling of membrane transport is an important tool which provides researchers with a quantification of the complex phenomena involved in dialysis. In the paper, we present a dense review of the most successful theoretical approaches to the description of transport across the polymeric membrane wall as well as the cell⁻polymer surface interaction, and refer to the corresponding experimental methods while studying these phenomena in dialyzing filters.

Abstract
Background Osmosis drives transcapillary ultrafiltration and water removal in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis. Crystalloid osmosis, typically induced by glucose, relies on dialysate tonicity and occurs through endothelial aquaporin-1 water channels and interendothelial clefts. In contrast, the mechanisms mediating water flow driven by colloidal agents, such as icodextrin, and combinations of osmotic agents have not been evaluated.Methods We used experimental models of peritoneal dialysis in mouse and biophysical studies combined with mathematical modeling to evaluate the mechanisms of colloid versus crystalloid osmosis across the peritoneal membrane and to investigate the pathways mediating water flow generated by the glucose polymer icodextrin.ResultsIn silico modeling and in vivo studies showed that deletion of aquaporin-1 did not influence osmotic water transport induced by icodextrin but did affect that induced by crystalloid agents. Water flow induced by icodextrin was dependent upon the presence of large, colloidal fractions, with a reflection coefficient close to unity, a low diffusion capacity, and a minimal effect on dialysate osmolality. Combining crystalloid and colloid osmotic agents in the same dialysis solution strikingly enhanced water and sodium transport across the peritoneal membrane, improving ultrafiltration efficiency over that obtained with either type of agent alone.Conclusions These data cast light on the molecular mechanisms involved in colloid versus crystalloid osmosis and characterize novel osmotic agents. Dialysis solutions combining crystalloid and colloid particles may help restore fluid balance in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis.

Changes of peritoneal transport parameters with time on dialysis: assessment with sequential peritoneal equilibration test. Int J Artif Organs 2017; 40:595-601.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sequential peritoneal equilibration test (sPET) is based on the consecutive performance of the peritoneal equilibration test (PET, 4-hour, glucose 2.27%) and the mini-PET (1-hour, glucose 3.86%), and the estimation of peritoneal transport parameters with the 2-pore model. It enables the assessment of the functional transport barrier for fluid and small solutes. The objective of this study was to check whether the estimated model parameters can serve as better and earlier indicators of the changes in the peritoneal transport characteristics than directly measured transport indices that depend on several transport processes. METHODS 17 patients were examined using sPET twice with the interval of about 8 months (230 ± 60 days). RESULTS There was no difference between the observational parameters measured in the 2 examinations. The indices for solute transport, but not net UF, were well correlated between the examinations. Among the estimated parameters, a significant decrease between the 2 examinations was found only for hydraulic permeability LpS, and osmotic conductance for glucose, whereas the other parameters remained unchanged. These fluid transport parameters did not correlate with D/P for creatinine, although the decrease in LpS values between the examinations was observed mostly for patients with low D/P for creatinine. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that changes in fluid transport parameters, hydraulic permeability and osmotic conductance for glucose, as assessed by the pore model, may precede the changes in small solute transport. The systematic assessment of fluid transport status needs specific clinical and mathematical tools beside the standard PET tests.

Abstract
The impact of icodextrin (ico) on peritoneal dialysis (PD) extension and patient survival is well established. Predominantly, ico-based solutions were prescribed in high-transporter PD patients. Advantages of the ico-based solutions include increased biocompatibility, avoidance of glucotoxicity, enhanced ultrafiltration failure (UF), sodium removal rates, better metabolic and blood pressure control. Bimodal solutions and twice daily exchanges of ico-based solutions are two newly introduced strategies to avoid glucose exposure and/or enhance UF in PD patients with UF failure. In addition, a simplified schedule of PD using a single nocturnal exchange of ico in patients with refractory congestive heart failure may represent an alternative option to manage fluid removal and azotaemia. The use of a simplified schedule of PD with only two ico exchanges or a single ico exchange is a challenging approach for end-stage renal disease patients with preserved residual function who desire to initiate PD.

Abstract
Introduction In the current study, an extended 3-pore model (TPM) is presented and applied to the problem of optimizing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) with regard to osmotic water transport (UF), small/middle-molecule clearance, and glucose absorption. Methods Simulations were performed for either intermittent APD (IPD) or tidal APD (TPD). IPD was simulated for fill and drain volumes of 2 L, whereas TPD was simulated using a tidal volume of 0.5 L, 1 L, or 1.5 L with full drains and subsequent fills (2 L) occurring after every fifth dwell. A total of 25 cycles for a large number of different dialysate flow rates (DFR) were simulated using 3 different glucose concentrations (1.36%, 2.27%, and 3.86%) and 3 different peritoneal transport types: slow (peritoneal equilibrium test D/Pcrea < 0.6), fast (peritoneal equilibrium test D/Pcrea > 0.8), and average. Solute clearance and UF were simulated to occur during the entire dwell, including both fill and drain periods. Results It is demonstrated that DFRs exceeding ∼ 3 L/h are of little benefit both for UF and small-solute transport, whereas middle-molecule clearance is enhanced at higher DFRs. The simulations predict that large reductions (> 20%) in glucose absorption are possible by using moderately higher DFRs than a standard 6 × 2 L prescription and by using shorter optimized “bi-modal” APD regimens that alternate between a glucose-free solution and a glucose-containing solution. Discussion Reductions in glucose absorption appear to be significant with the proposed regimens for APD; however, further research is needed to assess the feasibility and safety of these regimens.

Abstract
Background A modified version of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) using not only variable dwell times but also variable fill volumes has been tested against conventional APD (cAPD) with fixed dwell volumes in a randomized controlled clinical study. The results have indicated that the modified schedule for APD, denoted adapted APD (aAPD), can lead to improved small solute clearances, and, above all, a markedly increased sodium removal (NaR). To theoretically test these results, we have modeled aAPD vs cAPD in computer simulations using the 3-pore model (TPM). Methods The TPM, modified by including a transient, initial inflation of small solute mass transfer area coefficients (PS values), was employed. For simulations of osmotic ultrafiltration (UF), the TPM uses a constantly inflated value for PS for glucose and also a reduced value for PS for Na+, setting the peritoneal lymphatic reabsorption term at 0.3 mL/min. The simulations were performed by assuming that increases in intraperitoneal hydrostatic pressure (IPP) are transmitted to the capillary level ( via vein compression) and therefore do not significantly affect the Starling balance. Furthermore, the effective peritoneal surface area (A) was set to be variable as a function of intraperitoneal volume (IPV). Results The simulations demonstrated a minor improvement of small solute clearances (∼0.7 – 1.6%) and a very small improvement of UF and NaR in aAPD compared to cAPD. Conclusions Due mainly to the increased fill volumes in 3 out of 5 dwells in aAPD, this modality caused minor increases in small solute clearances and marginal effects on UF and NaR. The computer simulations point to a need for accurate sodium determinations in aAPD, considering all the methodological problems and pitfalls relevant to determining dialysate Na+ concentrations and peritoneal sodium mass balance.

Abstract
Background Incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD), the gradual introduction of dialysate exchanges at less than full-dose therapy, has been infrequently described in clinical reports. One concern with less than full-dose dialysis is whether urea clearance targets are achievable with an incremental regimen. In this report, we used a large database of PD patients, across all membrane transport types, and performed urea kinetic modeling determinations of possible incremental regimens for an individual membrane type. Methods Using a modified 3-pore model of peritoneal transport, various incremental manual continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) exchanges employing glucose and/or icodextrin were evaluated. Peritoneal urea clearances from those simulations were added to residual kidney urea clearance for patients with various glomerular filtration rates (GFRs), and the total weekly urea clearance was then compared to the total weekly urea Kt/V target of 1.7. All 4 peritoneal membrane types were modeled. For each simulated prescription, net ultrafiltration and carbohydrate absorption were also calculated. Results Incremental CAPD regimens of 2 exchanges a day met adequacy targets if the GFR was 6 mL/min/1.73 m2 in all membrane types. For regimens employing 3 exchanges a day, Kt/V targets were achieved at GFR levels of 4 to 5 mL/min/1.73 m2 in high transporters to low transporters but higher tonicity 2.5% glucose solutions or icodextrin were required in some regimens. Conclusions This work demonstrates that with incremental CAPD regimens, urea kinetic targets are achievable in most new starts to PD with residual kidney function. Incremental PD may be a less intrusive, better accepted initial treatment regime and a cost-effective way to initiate chronic dialysis in the incident patient. The key role of intrinsic kidney function in incremental regimens is highlighted in this analysis and would warrant conscientious monitoring.

Abstract
A two-compartment system (NICOPELIQ; NICO, Terumo Co., Tokyo, Japan) has recently been developed to neutralize icodextrin peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). In this study, a nonclinical evaluation of NICO was carried out to evaluate biocompatibility as well as water transport ability. Glucose degradation products (GDPs) in the icodextrin PDFs were analyzed via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The cell viability of human peritoneal mesothelial cells derived from peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE-HPMCs) was evaluated as well as the amount of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released after exposure to different PDFs (NICO and EXTRANEAL [EX, Baxter Healthcare Corp., Chicago, IL, USA]) and neutralized pH glucose PDF MIDPELIQ 250 (M250, Terumo). The water transport ability of NICO, EX, and M250 was tested using dialysis tube membranes with various pore sizes: 1, 2, 6-8, and 12-16 kDa. Although cell viability decreased by 30% after 30 min exposure to NICO, it was maintained for 6 h while a significant decrease was observed after 6 h exposure to EX. However, following adjustment of the pH to the same pre-exposure pH value, there was no significant difference in cell viability within the same pH group despite a doubling of the difference in the total amount of GDPs (44.6 ± 8.6 µM in NICO and 91.9 ± 9.5 µM in EX, respectively). In contrast, a significant decrease in cell viability was observed when the pH decreased to less than pH 6. Levels of released LDH, a cytotoxic marker, were within 5% after a 6-h exposure of NICO to PDE-HPMCs. There was no significant difference in water transport ability represented as overall osmotic gradients between NICO and EX. In conclusion, neutralization of icodextrin PDF is beneficial for maintaining cell viability and minimizing LDH release while water transport ability is comparable to the conventional icodextrin PDF.

Peritoneal Fluid Transport rather than Peritoneal Solute Transport Associates with Dialysis Vintage and Age of Peritoneal Dialysis Patients. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2016; 2016:8204294.

Abstract
During peritoneal dialysis (PD), the peritoneal membrane undergoes ageing processes that affect its function. Here we analyzed associations of patient age and dialysis vintage with parameters of peritoneal transport of fluid and solutes, directly measured and estimated based on the pore model, for individual patients. Thirty-three patients (15 females; age 60 (21–87) years; median time on PD 19 (3–100) months) underwent sequential peritoneal equilibration test. Dialysis vintage and patient age did not correlate. Estimation of parameters of the two-pore model of peritoneal transport was performed. The estimated fluid transport parameters, including hydraulic permeability (LpS), fraction of ultrasmall pores (αu), osmotic conductance for glucose (OCG), and peritoneal absorption, were generally independent of solute transport parameters (diffusive mass transport parameters). Fluid transport parameters correlated whereas transport parameters for small solutes and proteins did not correlate with dialysis vintage and patient age. Although LpS and OCG were lower for older patients and those with long dialysis vintage, αu was higher. Thus, fluid transport parameters—rather than solute transport parameters—are linked to dialysis vintage and patient age and should therefore be included when monitoring processes linked to ageing of the peritoneal membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Icodextrin is a peritoneal dialysis solution that is commonly used to increase ultrafiltration during the long dwell. The other major clinical benefit of icodextrin is that it is glucose-sparing, which may help preserve peritoneal membrane function. Since it has a different chemical composition than dextrose, and with its increasing use, there are several clinical considerations healthcare providers must familiarize themselves with prior to prescribing icodextrin. SUMMARY Failure to recognize these special properties of icodextrin can lead to adverse events reaching patients. This narrative review explores the hemodynamic, metabolic, and idiopathic effects of icodextrin to facilitate the safe use of icodextrin in peritoneal dialysis. KEY MESSAGES Hemodynamic effects include hypotension from enhanced ultrafiltration contributing to loss of residual kidney function. Metabolic effects include the chemical structure of icodextrin interfering with biochemical assays, resulting in misleading glucose readings on non-specific glucometers. Idiopathic adverse effects include a diffuse rash and sterile peritonitis. It is also important to remember that not all antibiotic combinations have undergone stability testing in icodextrin. This narrative review will help healthcare providers to confidently prescribe icodextrin to maximize its benefit in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrary to ultrafiltration, the three-pore model predictions of icodextrin absorption from the peritoneal cavity have not yet been reported likely, in part, due to difficulties in estimating the degradation of glucose-polymer chains by α-amylase activity in dialysate. We incorporated this degradation process in a modified three-pore model of peritoneal transport to predict ultrafiltration and icodextrin absorption simultaneously in rats and humans. METHODS Separate three-pore models were constructed for humans and rats. The model for humans was adapted from PD Adequest 2.0 including a clearance term out of the peritoneal cavity to account for the absorption of large molecules to the peritoneal tissues, and considering patients who routinely used icodextrin by establishing steady-state plasma concentrations. The model for rats employed a standard three-pore model in which human kinetic parameters were scaled for a rat based on differences in body weight. Both models described the icodextrin molecular weight (MW) distribution as five distinct MW fractions. First order kinetics was applied using degradation rate constants obtained from previous in-vitro measurements using gel permeation chromatography. Ultrafiltration and absorption were predicted during a 4-hour exchange in rats, and 9 and 14-hour exchanges in humans with slow to fast transport characteristics with and without the effect of amylase activity. RESULTS In rats, the icodextrin MW profile shifted towards the low MW fractions due to complete disappearance of the MW fractions greater than 27.5 kDa. Including the effect of amylase activity (60 U/L) resulted in 21.1% increase in ultrafiltration (UF) (7.6 mL vs 6.0 mL) and 7.1% increase in icodextrin absorption (CHO) (62.5% with vs 58.1%). In humans, the shift in MW profile was less pronounced. The fast transport (H) patient absorbed more icodextrin than the slow transport (L) patient during both 14-hour (H: 47.9% vs L: 40.2%) and 9-hour (H: 37.4% vs L: 31.7%) exchanges. While the UF was higher during the longer exchange, it varied modestly among the patient types (14-hour range: 460 - 509 mL vs 9-hour range: 382 - 389 mL). When averaged over all patients, the increases in UF and CHO during the 14-hour exchange due to amylase activity (7 U/L) were 15% and 1.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION The icodextrin absorption values predicted by the model agreed with those measured in rats and humans to accurately show the increased absorption in rats. Also, the model confirmed the previous suggestions by predicting an increase in UF specific to amylase activity in dialysate, likely due to the added osmolality by the small molecules generated as a result of the degradation process. As expected, this increase was more pronounced in rats than in humans because of higher dialysate concentrations of amylase in rats.
