From the Division or Nephrology, Department or Medicine, University or Missouri, Veterans Administration Hospital, Dalton Research Center and Diaclin Laboratory, Columbia, MO 65212.

Peritoneal transfer rates of urea, creatinine, glucose, protein potassium, and sodium as well as drain and residual volumes were measured during 103 equilibration tests performed in 18 diabetic and 68 nondiabetic patients. Equilibration test was performed over a 4-hour dwell exchange with 2 L of 2.5% Dianeal solution. Excellent reproducibility was seen after tests were standardized for length of preceding exchange, times of inflow and drainage, patient position, methods of obtaining and processing samples and laboratory assays. Diabetics did not have lower peritoneal solute transfers than nondiabetics. Wide variations were found in the study population.

KEY WORDS: Peritoneal equilibration; Peritoneal clearances; Drain volume; Residual volume; Inadequate dialysis; Inadequate ultrafiltration; Dialysate leak; Catheter malfunction; Diabetes; Nightly peritoneal dialysis; Daytime ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; Dialysate laboratory assays.
