The number of peritoneal dialysis sessions was determined by the dialysis modality and the amount of ultrafiltration, with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis 4 to 5 sessions/day and automated peritoneal dialysis 1 session/day.
The number of peritoneal dialysis sessions is determined by the dialysis modality and individual ultrafiltration volume. Common dialysis modalities include continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and automated peritoneal dialysis.
1. Peritoneal dialysis mostly adopts continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, usually exchanging 3~4 times during the day, each time staying in the abdomen for 4~6 hours; once at night, according to the patient’s ultrafiltration amount to decide whether to stay in the abdomen or not, usually staying in the abdomen for 10~12 hours, and need to individualize and adjust the prescription in order to achieve the optimal solute removal and fluid balance, and to protect the residual renal function as much as possible.
2. Automated peritoneal dialysis requires only one operation with the help of a machine at night, and patients can work and live normally during the day.
It is recommended to consult a nephrologist for the selection of peritoneal dialysis modality and the formulation of dialysis program, and to treat under the guidance of the doctor to reduce the occurrence of complications and improve the quality of life.
