A retrospective analysis of the ultrafiltration (UF) capacity of patients
treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis since 1978 showed that in
all 31 patients using acetatebut Tered dialysate the UF decreased whereas it
decreased in only two (14%) of 14 patients using lactate dialysate. Prolonged
exposure of the peritoneum to acetate dialysate seems to be responsible for
this loss of UF.
KEY WORDS: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; ultrafiltration; acetate dialysate; lactate dialysate.
