1. Regarding the Predialy...Thanks for the feedback.<br />1. Regarding the Predialysis BUN, the idea is that maintaining a lower pre-dialysis BUN causes less osmotic shifts per session. This may require daily treatments to acheive. Here's the reference (Davenport A: Renal replacement therapy in the patient with acute<br />brain injury. Am J Kidney Dis 37:457–466, 2001)<br /><br />2. As for icodextrin, there is systemic absorption observed, which accounts for cross-reactivity with glucometer readings etc. This has been shown to affect plasma osmolality, although the effect is likely small.Conall O' Seaghdhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591806942414088134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-10292435378674983312009-10-21T18:30:17.756-04:002009-10-21T18:30:17.756-04:00Two things are not clear to me in above excellent ...Two things are not clear to me in above excellent note<br /><br />Pre dialysis BUN: ?<br /><br />Icodextrin in PD should remain in peritoneal cavity, how can it exert same effect as albumin/mannitol??PatelUTMEMnoreply@blogger.com
