Peritoneal dialysis ultrafiltration volume is the outflow minus the inflow. Because there is no description of the infiltration volume, it is not possible to accurately calculate the ultrafiltration volume. The usual routine dialysis volume is 2000 ml, so the ultrafiltration volume is 500 ml.
Take a patient with chronic renal failure as an example. If the patient has an indication for peritoneal dialysis and there are no contraindications, he or she can choose peritoneal dialysis treatment. The specialist will introduce to the patient or guardian without prejudice the treatment modalities, principles, and respective advantages and disadvantages of renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and renal transplantation and give pertinent treatment advice. Except for medical reasons, dialysis can be chosen by the patient himself/herself.
Expanded InformationConditions requiring dialysis treatment:
Dialysis therapy is a treatment that utilizes a semi-permeable membrane to remove metabolic wastes and excess water from the blood and to maintain acid-base balance.
Generally, patients with a blood creatinine concentration of more than 700 or a glomerular filtration rate of 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 or less need to be prepared to undergo dialysis at any time if there is an overload of water (e.g., symptoms of edema or bloating), severe malnutrition, hyperkalemia or hyperphosphatemia that is difficult to correct with medications, and so on.
