This is an important landmark paper on a multicentre, prospective cohort study assessing the predictive impact of total dose on outcome. It gives strong indicators of where the targets ought to be, but was not designed actually to set targets; increasing dialysis to compensate for the loss of residual renal function may not necessarily decrease the mortality rate, 75% of which is cardiovascular. The results should not be misinterpreted as having validated high, sometimes unachievable, small solute clearance targets and, in particular, it should not be viewed as having shown that CAPD is not an 'adequate' modality.

Nephrol Dial Transplant 1995, 10:2295-2305. This is a 3-year prospective study in CAPD and haemodialysis patients, assessing outcomes (morbidity and survival) in relation to pretreatmant risk factors, adequacy, residual renal function and nutritional status. Patients were already on dialysis and were followed up for 3 years. Survival was linked to residual renal function, but not to normalized protein catabolic rate. The equivalence of KT/V on CAPD and haemodialysis was assessed.

This review assesses the various studies in peritoneal dialysis and argues that no studies yet have been randomized and prospective, and that a specific target cannot be stipulated. It addresses the practical problems of achieving advocated targets, including weight and whether creatinine clearance is better than KT/V in CAPD.

This study addresses the role of residual renal function and peritoneal permeability in CAPD prescriptions. In CAPD peritoneal transport determines urea clearance through an effect on ultrafiltration, so low transporters will have higher values for peritoneal dialysis KT/V. The limitations of a standard 4 × 2-litre regime in anuric, large and low transporter-status patients are highlighted.

There is a considerable cost implication in achieving higher targets of solute clearance, especially with the use of ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. These are clearly illustrated using actual regimes as practised in the authors' unit.

Manipulation of dialysis prescription can allow successful peritoneal dialysis even in large anuric patients. There is an increase in the complexity of the regimen and on impact on the quality of life but a good outcome with patient survival rate of 66% at 3 years.

To optimize ambulatory peritoneal dialysis the authors provide evidence showing that exchanges should be done in the supine position and to shorten the drain time to include only the initial segment of the outflow. This improves the efficiency and the convenience.

This is an important study in sorting out which method to utilize in estimating the volume of urea distribution in CAPD patients. The four methods considered were equivalent when patients were not obese; bioelectrical impedance is not advocated, whereas the 58% body mass method consistently overestimated the volume of urea distribution. The Watson formula might be the most practicable, but there are reservations.
