Abstract

Background

Icodextrin has a lower absorption rate, and icodextrin peritoneal dialysate contributes to more water removal than glucose dialysate in patients with high peritoneal permeability. There are limited data on icodextrin dialysate use in children.

Methods

This study included all pediatric patients who received peritoneal equilibration tests and peritoneal dialysis with icodextrin dialysate at the study center. The factors related to ultrafiltration volume with icodextrin dialysate with long dwell time were statistically analyzed. Then the ultrafiltration volume with icodextrin and medium-concentration glucose dialysate was compared in individual cycles in the same patients.

Results

Thirty-six samples were included in the icodextrin group, and nine samples were used to compare the ultrafiltration volume with icodextrin and glucose dialysate. Dwell time, D/P-creatinine, D/D0-glucose, age, height, and weight correlated significantly with the ultrafiltration volume of icodextrin dialysate (p < 0.05). A dwell volume equal to or more than 550 mL/m2 was associated with a significantly higher ultrafiltration volume than a lower dwell volume (p = 0.039). Multiple regression analysis revealed that dwell time (p = 0.038) and height (p < 0.01) correlated with ultrafiltration volume significantly. In addition, the ultrafiltration volume was superior (p < 0.01), and dwell time was longer (p = 0.02), with icodextrin dialysate than with medium-concentration glucose dialysate.

Conclusions

The ultrafiltration volume with icodextrin dialysate decreases in patients with small stature. Providing sufficient dwell time and volume is important for maximal water removal even in children. Ultrafiltration volume is superior with icodextrin than medium-concentration glucose dialysate for long dwell times.
