Objective: The anorexia seen in peritoneal dialysis
(PD) patients may be due partially to factors of dialysis solutions, such as
pH and buffering agent. We tested the effects of different PD solutions in an
experimental rat model for appetite.
Design: The intraoral intake of a sucrose solution from
an implanted intraoral cannula in freely moving male Wistar rats was used to
evaluate appetite at 30 minutes and 120 minutes after intraperitoneal (IP)
infusion of bicarbonate (25 mmol/L)/lactate (15 mmol/L)-based PD solution (P)
and conventional lactate (40 mmol/L)-based PD solution (D) with different
concentrations of glucose. We also tested different buffer solutions
containing lactate and bicarbonate with different pH but with no
glucose.
Results: The IP infusion as such and the 30 mL volume
did not inhibit appetite; however, appetite was significantly less inhibited
by P than by D in the 1.36%, 2.27%, and 3.86% solutions (p <
0.05). Furthermore, intraoral intake was significantly higher in rats
receiving IP solution with bicarbonate buffer (pH 7.4) than with lactate
buffer (p < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in
intraoral intake for lactate with pH 5.5, pH 6.6, or pH 7.4.
Conclusions: The bicarbonate/lactate solution inhibited
appetite less than the lactate solution; this was due partially to the use of
bicarbonate. The results show possible benefit on appetite of reducing the
lactate concentration in PD solutions.
KEY WORDS: Peritoneal dialysis solutions; bicarbonate; lactate; pH; ingestive behavior; appetite.
