The two main properties of the peritoneal membrane are: a. Semi permeable – this allows substances of certain sizes to move from an area of greater concentration to less concentration. b. Bi Directional - substances move in either direction across the membrane. 2. So-called “lymphatic” drainage refers to bulk flow from the peritoneal cavity back to the circulation. This actually occurs across tissues as well as lymphatics. As this is convective flow, dissolved solutes move with the fluid. Thus, fluid reabsorption results in loss of solute clearance as well as loss of fluid removal. 3. It is important to be aware of the continuity of the peritoneal cavity with the Fallopian tubes as retrograde menstruation- which may occur in any woman but goes undetected- will cause bloody dialysate and create concern in the PD patient.

  • Comparison of Clinical Effects Between
    Kanno et al. Renal Replacement Therapy (2020) 6:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41100-019-0253-4 REVIEW Open Access Comparison of clinical effects between icodextrin and glucose solutions on outcomes of peritoneal dialysis: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials Atsuhiro Kanno1*, Yasushi Tsujimoto2, Takayuki Fujii3, Emi Fujikura4, Kimio Watanabe5, Hidemichi Yuasa6, Munekazu Ryuzaki7, Yasuhiko Ito8 and Hidetomo Nakamoto9 Abstract Background: Icodextrin enhances peritoneal filtration for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, clinically important outcomes have not yet been analyzed using authentic, objective statistical methods. The present systematic review aimed to determine the risks and benefits of icodextrin compared with a glucose-based solution with respect to clinically important and patient-centered outcomes. Methods: We systematically investigated only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by adopting the Cochrane Database of Systematic Review (2014) and searched the CENTRAL, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases for eligible studies reported in the literature. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Results: We finally evaluated important outcomes in 13 RCTs. Icodextrin significantly decreased the number of reported episodes of uncontrolled fluid overload in four RCTs that involved 236 patients (relative risk [RR], 0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.12 to 0.82; moderate certainty evidence). However, the inclusion of icodextrin for peritoneal ultrafiltration did not significantly differ in six RCTs involving 252 patients (mean difference [MD], 186.76 mL; 95% CI, − 47.08 to 420.59; low certainty evidence). Regarding other clinically important outcomes, all-cause mortality in 10 RCTs involving 1106 patients (RR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.33 to 1.71; low certainty evidence) and technical survival in five RCTs involving 470 patients (RR, 0.57; 95%CI, 0.29 to 1.12; low certainty evidence) were not significant.

  • Country-Specific Glucose Monitor List
    Country-Specific Glucose Monitor List Country Name: USA Important Information This is a non-comprehensive list, current as of March 2015. Absence of a specific glucose monitor or test strips from this list does NOT imply compatibility or incompatibility with EXTRANEAL (Icodextrin) PD solution. Similarly, other glucose-measuring technologies which are not listed below (such as continuous glucose monitoring systems) may or may not be compatible with EXTRANEAL. Always contact the device manufacturer for current information. If the manufacturer cannot provide information regarding compatibility of the device with icodextrin and maltose, Baxter does NOT recommend that Extraneal patients use the product. Baxter reserves the right to change this list without notice and does not represent that it includes all potentially incompatible products. The glucose monitors manufacturers listed have certified to Baxter that they have tested (as per 2013 ISO 15197) their monitors with maltose and icodextrin to Baxter’s recommended limits: 278 mg/dL (maltose) and 1094 mg/dL (icodextrin). The manufacturers certified that their “green” monitors, below, showed no interference of blood glucose readings under these conditions, with the exception of the “green” monitors specifically notated6 for which certification of testing to Baxter’s recommended limits has not yet been received. This list is compiled from a search via: Internet, literature, Baxter internal studies, information from government agencies, test strip leaflets, safety alerts, and direct information from the product manufacturers. While efforts have been made to provide accurate and current information, Baxter does not manufacture these glucose monitors or test strips and thus does not guarantee the initial or continued accuracy of this information.

  • Delayed Allergic Cutaneous Hypersensitivity to Icodextrin by Nikesh Adunuri MD and Saira Zafar MD FRCPC
    Case Report Delayed Allergic Cutaneous Hypersensitivity to Icodextrin By Nikesh Adunuri MD and Saira Zafar MD FRCPC About the Authors Nikesh Adunuri is with the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Western Ontario. Saira Zafar is with the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Western Ontario. Submitted: March 18, 2017. Accepted May 7, 2017. Published December 29, 2017. Abstract Rashes pose a unique challenge to general internists. Here we present a case of a 51-year-old female with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on peritoneal dialysis who presented to a General Internal Medicine clinic with a vesiculobullous rash on palms and soles 6 months after using icodextrin dialysate, a widely used osmotic agent in peritoneal dialysis. The investigations were positive for an elevated eosinophil count, elevated IgE level and a skin biopsy consistent with an allergic reaction. Her symptoms and labs normalized after stopping icodextrin. There are some reports of allergic reactions to icodextrin which usually occur within a month of initiation of the agent and are self-limiting. Here we hope to report a case of a reaction that occurred 6 months after using icodextrin. Résumé Les éruptions cutanées posent un défi particulier aux internistes généraux. Nous rapportons ici le cas d’une femme de 51 ans atteinte d’insuffisance rénale terminale (IRT), sous dialyse péritonéale, qui se présente à une clinique de médecine interne générale avec une éruption cutanée vésiculo-bulleuse sur les paumes et la plante des pieds. Depuis six mois, la patiente utilise un dialysat d’icodextrine, un agent osmotique largement utilisé en dialyse péritonéale.

  • Glucose Monitors Or Test Strips
    Country Specific Glucose Monitor List Country Name: USA Important Information This list is compiled from a search via: Internet, literature, Baxter internal studies, information from government agencies, test strip leaflets, safety alerts, and direct information from the product manufacturers. While efforts have been made to provide accurate and current information, Baxter does not manufacture these glucose monitor or test strips and does not guarantee the initial or continued accuracy of this information. Please contact the manufacturer(s) of the glucose monitor and test strip to obtain the latest compatibility information before using in conjunction with EXTRANEAL (icodextrin) peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution. 1. EXTRANEAL (icodextrin) PD solution contains icodextrin. Maltose, a metabolite of icodextrin, may interfere with certain glucose monitors or test strips. This interference will result in a falsely elevated glucose reading using these monitors or test strips. 2. This interference may mask true hypoglycemia or lead to the erroneous diagnosis of hyperglycemia. Thus, a blood glucose reading within or above the normal range in a patient on EXTRANEAL (icodextrin) PD solution, using these monitors or test strips, may mask true low blood sugar. This would cause a patient or health care professional to not take the appropriate steps to bring the blood sugar into a normal range. Or, a falsely-elevated blood glucose reading could cause a patient to get more insulin than needed. Both of these situations can lead to life-threatening events, including loss of consciousness, coma, neurological damage or death. 3. The dialysis unit or patient should contact the manufacturer(s) of the glucose monitor and/or test strips to determine if the monitor or test strips they are using are subject to interference by icodextrin or maltose, or if they measure only glucose.
