  Peritoneal Dialysis (PD), used for patients with ESRD, can involve 7.5% Icodextrin, dextrose, or a combination. Icodextrinonly PD has been shown to improve sodium removal, blood pressure, glycemic control, and reduce PD failure rates, yet it remains underutilized. This study analyzed outcomes from patients at Davita Home Dialysis Center in Wall Township, NJ, over a 5-year period. We compared clinical outcomes between patients using Icodextrin-only peritoneal dialysis (PD) and those using dextrose-based or combined dextrose-Icodextrin solutions for a minimum of six months. A retrospective review of de-identified patient data (Sept 2019-Jan 2024) compared serum potassium, phosphate, hemoglobin, albumin, residual urine, peritonitis events, and conversion to hemodialysis in patients using Icodextrin-only PD versus dextrose-based or combination solutions. Icodextrin-only PD achieved compar.. Read More»
