Wcn25-917 Simultaneous Increase in Ultrafiltration Volume and Sodium Removal With Steady Concentration Peritoneal Dialysis Using Carry Life Uf

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Achieving adequate ultrafiltration (UF) as well as sodium removal is a challenge with peritoneal dialysis (PD), especially during automated PD (APD) as a result of sodium sieving. Carry Life UF is a novel PD system, using steady concentration peritoneal dialysis (SCPD), that is potentially suitable for PD patients requiring enhanced fluid removal. The Carry Life UF device transfers small amounts of dialysate between the patient and the device, while continuously adding glucose to achieve a stable intraperitoneal glucose concentration during the treatment.
