RRI Conference 2022 | Dr. Guido Filler "What is more important for growth in pediatric PD"

This session offers a unique opportunity to study the impact of high doses of Kt/Vurea in one of the largest single center retrospective cohort studies of 53 children on PD using conventional PD solutions, who underwent repeated peritoneal equilibration tests every 9 months on growth and other factors. Similar to the CANUSA and ADEMEX studies in adults, excessive Kt/Vurea was not associated with better growth. Apart from age and delta BMI, there was a positive impact of growth with aggressive bicarbonate supplementation.
