Accuracy of the estimation of V and the implications this has when applying Kt/Vurea for measuring dialysis dose in peritoneal dialysis (2020)
Journal Article
Davies, S., & Finkelstein, F. O. (2020). Accuracy of the estimation of V and the implications this has when applying Kt/Vurea for measuring dialysis dose in peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 40(3), 261 - 269. https://doi.org/10.1177/0896860819893817

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines for the prescription of peritoneal dialysis dose rely on a single cut-off 'minimal' value of Kt/V. To apply this in the clinic, this requires an accurate estimation of V, the volume of urea distribution that equates to...

Incremental peritoneal dialysis (2020)
Journal Article
Blake, P. G., Dong, J., & Davies, S. J. (2020). Incremental peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 40(3), 320 - 326. https://doi.org/10.1177/0896860819895362

Incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been variably defined. It involves taking advantage of the residual renal function that is usually present at initiation of dialysis to initially prescribe less onerous lower doses of PD while still achieving...
