Systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in both fluids, in conventional fluid during 1.36/3.86% exchange, in biocompatible fluid during 3.86% dwell.

3. Figure 2
Systemic hemodynamics. Total peripheral resistance (TPR) increased with both fluids. Stroke volume (SV) in biocompatible fluid was significantly lower and biocompatible fluid TPR was significantly higher than conventional fluid during the majority of the study. All data are presented as percentage change from baseline.

4. Figure 3
Baroreflex sensitivity. BRS was more variable with conventional fluid. Conventional fluid demonstrated higher BRS than biocompatible fluid during both 1.36% and 3.86% dwell. BRS fell during 3.86% dwell by ∼30%.

Plasma glucose and insulin. Fluid biocompatibility did not affect either parameter. Higher glucose concentration PD fluid was associated with hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia.
