| Core Tip |
Total creatinine excretion (EXCr) in urine and in the used peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid is correlated with muscle mass and has been shown to predict survival and morbidity of patients on PD. This retrospective study evaluated the long-term constancy of 24-h excretion of creatinine in urine and spent peritoneal dialysate from patients with end-stage kidney disease treated by PD. Over a period of 2.5 years, the average value of total EXCr in the study population did not change significantly. However, in individuals there was a substantial variation of repeated measurements of total EXCr above or below its initial value. Approximately half of those studied repeatedly exhibited total EXCr above or below its initial value. Further studies are needed to evaluate changes, both increase and decrease, of EXCr in PD patients and the constancy of EXCr in patients on PD for more than 2.5 years. |
