Key result
The Peritoneal Equilibration Test showed an inverse correlation between solute transfer and ultrafiltration volume (r = -0.59, P < 0.0001), aiding in the evaluation of CAPD patients.

Supports PET in CAPD evaluation; hypothesis-generating for transport-guided prescriptions, pending prospective validation.
Observational (n=104)
Does the Peritoneal Equilibration Test (PET) accurately assess solute transfer and ultrafiltration in CAPD patients?
Effect estimate: r = -0.59
p-value: p=< 0.0001
The Peritoneal Equilibration Test is a reproducible and useful adjunct for understanding and prescribing peritoneal dialysis.
Davies et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) (n=104). Peritoneal Equilibration Test (PET) was evaluated on Correlation between solute transfer (D/Pcreat) and ultrafiltration volume (r = -0.59, p=< 0.0001). The Peritoneal Equilibration Test showed an inverse correlation between solute transfer and ultrafiltration volume (r = -0.59, P < 0.0001), aiding in the evaluation of CAPD patients.
