METHODS Data were collected from the Shanghai Dialysis Registry fr...

Instead of the peritoneal equilibration test (PET), the dialysis adequacy and transport test (DATT) is an easy and convenient method to classify peritoneal transport type. However, the peritoneal transport characteristics obtained from the DATT and the PET are not same in some cases. In the present study, we investigated the ability of the DATT to identify peritoneal transport characteristics i...

BACKGROUND Today the major outcome measure for peritoneal dialysis is adequacy. We seek the optimal dialysis modality and prescription for each patient.
