2. Figure 1
Prevalence of congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients initiating dialysis in the United States of America in the years 1996, 1998, and 2000 showing persistently high proportions. Symbols represent ages: () 45 to 64; () 65 to 74; (▪) 75+. The prevalence of CHF was age dependent. Data are from the 2001 USRDS Report.

3. Figure 2
Profile of blood pressure control in patients on peritoneal dialysis in the United States of America and Italy classified by the criteria of the Sixth Joint National Committee on Hypertension (JNC6). A high prevalence of poorly controlled hypertension is clearly demonstrated. Data are from references2,3.

4. Figure 3
Success in control of hypertension in PD patient by strict fluid management is illustrated by the study of Günal et al6. The number of patients requiring antihypertensive medications for blood pressure control was progressively reduced and those requiring oral antihypertensives were controlled by a single agent.

5. Figure 4
Differential effects of dwell time or drain volume on peritoneal clearance of β2-microglobulin. Increasing dwell time from 12 to 24 hours and not drain volume (by increasing the number of exchanges of 2 L each) was effective in increasing clearance. Data are from reference10.

Prevalence of negative net ultrafiltration (drain volume less than fill volume) in (A) CAPD and (B) APD patients treated with glucose based dialysate with various concentrations. Data are from references11,13,47.

10. Figure 9
Relationship between cycle number and cycle duration during the nighttime phase of APD. With increasing cycle number, the duration of a dwell is shortened. This effect is due to the proportional requirements for fill and drain. The curves illustrate the changes in cycle duration by differing therapy times.

11. Figure 10
Correspondence between dwell time with different cycle number (A) and the corresponding decline in osmotic gradient (B) as illustrated by the changes in dialysate glucose concentration ratio (D) compared to baseline glucose (D0). The four peritoneal transport types are represented by the different areas in the right hand panel: Low transport (L), low average transport (LA), high average transport (HA), and high transport (H).

12. Figure 11
Nighttime ultrafiltration in patients on APD with variations in number of cycles. Increasing cycle number beyond 5 is associated with diminishing net UF because of the disproportional increase in relative “no therapy time” during fill/drain periods. Profiles for patients with high average (HA) and low average (LA) transport are illustrated.

13. Figure 12
Net ultrafiltration per cycle declines with increasing cycle number because of the reduced time for ultrafiltration. Although shorter cycles operate at higher ultrafiltration rates, the cumulative ultrafiltration tends to be lower.

14. Figure 13
Nighttime ultrafiltration in APD increases with increasing tonicity. Symbols are: (▪) 1.50%; (▵) 2.00%; (○) 2.50%. It is more efficacious to increase UF by increasing tonicity than by increasing cycle number. Curves for a high average (HA) transport patient are illustrated.

Caloric gain per milliliter of ultrafiltration. Symbols are: (▪) 1.50%; (○) 2.50%. Fewer calories from glucose are gained per mL of net ultrafiltration with the use of higher tonicity solutions.
