APD was associated with lower sodium removal than CAPD; leaves open whether icodextrin or adjusted dwells optimize sodium balance.
Does automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) compared to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) reduce sodium removal in patients on peritoneal dialysis?
Standard automated peritoneal dialysis schedules are associated with poorer sodium removal rates compared to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, which can be improved with icodextrin or modified dwell times.
Rodríguez–Carmona et al. (2002) studied this question.
