Abstract
These data suggest that dialysis dose is one of the major determinants of protein and energy intake in PD patients and that higher doses of dialysis tend to improve outcome. The data also suggest that with a long time on PD the peritoneal membrane probably has some underlying histological changes that preclude it from optimally responding to injury and may predispose it to irreversible damage. A possible early finding in this case is an increase in peritoneal transport in patients whose transport was initially stable. Peritoneal membrane transport properties are an important determinant of not only dialysis dose, but also nutritional status via both direct and indirect means. It is therefore important to identify the individual patient's peritoneal membrane transport characteristics. These transport characteristics may change over time. High transporters on CAPD represent a unique challenge. They have ultrafiltration problems and a tendency toward protein malnutrition presumably due to increased dialysate protein losses while on CAPD. One must consider that malnutrition in a rapid transporter may be due to the fact that the patient is on the wrong PD therapy. A change to NIPD may rectify some of the biochemical parameters, but these patients may not always improve. Reasons for this occasional lack of improvement are multifactorial, but emphasize our need to look at each patient as an individual and not focus only on laboratory parameters.

Abstract
Objective To determine whether estimates of daily dialysis clearance of creatinine and urea, based on data from the 4-hour peritoneal equilibration test, correlate well with daily dialysis clearance measured by 24-hour dialysate collection in chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. Design Prospective study in which each subject collected all dialysate from a 24-hour period and then immediately thereafter underwent a standard peritoneal equilibration test (PET). Daily clearances of creatinine and urea were calculated from 24-hour dialysate collections by standard methods and then were compared with several estimates of 24-hour clearance based on PET data. Setting Single peritoneal dialysis unit of a university teaching hospital. Patients Thirty-six stable patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Main Outcome The estimated values for daily dialysis clearance both overestimated and underestimated the measured 24-hour clearance. The correlation coefficient between the extrapolations and the actual 24-hour clearances ranged from 0.63–0.68. The range of discordance for daily creatinine clearance was from -2530 mL/dayto +2199 mL/day. For daily urea clearance, the range of discordance was from -21 03 mL/ day to +1940 mL/day. The peritoneal membrane transport characteristics of the individual patient did not predict whether the extrapolation overestimated orunder estimated the measured daily clearance. Conclusion Extrapolation of PET data is not a reliable method to estimate the dose of dialysis delivered to the patient. A 24-hour collection of dialysis is necessary for this determination.
