Thesis (M.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong (People's Republic of China), 2001.

Since the first description, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) has gained acceptance as long-term renal replacement therapy. The “dosage” of peritoneal dialysis could be quantified by measuring small solute clearance. There is substantial evidence from observational studies that a higher dialysis dosage in Caucasians is associated with better outcome. However, most studies focused on total small solute clearance in patients with significant residual renal function. Importantly, total clearance composes of two parts: peritoneal clearance (i.e. clearance provided by dialysis) and renal clearance (i.e. residual renal function). Notably, one assumes renal and peritoneal clearances are equivalent. Nevertheless, this assumption has not been proved, and the relative importance of renal and peritoneal clearance have not been examined. In Hong Kong, CAPD is the first line renal replacement therapy. Patients are switched to hemodialysis when they have peritoneal failure. This policy provides an excellent opportunity to examine the effect of dialysis adequacy on the clinical outcome. We first examined the effect of total clearance in 270 unselected Chinese CAPD patients for 3 years. We found that Chinese CAPD patients had a low mortality. A higher total clearance was associated with better survival and fewer hospitalization. However, the effect of total clearance was confounded by renal clearance. We next tried to dissect the effect of peritoneal clearance from renal clearance. Two groups of patients with different renal clearance were followed for one year. Despite a similar total clearance, patients with higher renal clearance had fewer hospitalizations. However, total clearance, independent of renal clearance, correlated with nutritional status. We further studied the effect of peritoneal clearance in 140 anuric patients to eliminate the confounding effect of renal clearance. We found that higher peritoneal clearance was associated with better technique survival and fewer hospitalisations. From this series of work, we conclude that renal and peritoneal clearance are not equivalent. Peritoneal clearance affects the mortality and morbidity of CAPD patients. This effect is preserved in an ethnic group with low overall mortality. Our result highlights the importance of adequate dialysis in CAPD patients.
