What is Physioneal?

What is Physioneal?

PHYSIONEAL 40 bicarbonate/lactate based peritoneal dialysis solutions with a physiological pH are particularly indicated in patients in whom solutions based on lactate buffer only, with a low pH, cause abdominal inflow pain or discomfort.

What is extraneal peritoneal dialysis solution?

Extraneal (icodextrin peritoneal dialysis solution) is an isosmotic peritoneal dialysis solution containing glucose polymers (icodextrin) as the primary osmotic agent. Icodextrin functions as a colloid osmotic agent to achieve. ultrafiltration during long peritoneal dialysis dwells.

What is peritoneal dialysis fluid made of?

During PD, a mixture of dextrose (sugar), salt, and other minerals dissolved in water, called dialysis solution, is placed in a person’s abdominal cavity through a catheter.

How do you store peritoneal dialysis solution?

How should I store and handle peritoneal dialysis solution?

1. Store it in a clean space.
2. Keep the solution in the container’s moisture barrier until you’re ready to use it.
3. Keep it away from children and pets.
4. Store it at 68°F to 77°F.
5. Don’t heat it above 104°.
6. Don’t freeze the solution.
7. Discard any unused portion.

How long does EXTRANEAL last?

EXTRANEAL (icodextrin, sodium chloride, sodium lactate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride) is indicated for use as an osmotic agent for long dwell, up to 12 hours, in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), where it can be used for 14 and up to 16 hours.

Is EXTRANEAL non glucose based?

Icodextrin (Extraneal) is a high molecular weight glucose polymer developed specifically for use as an alternative osmotic agent to dextrose during the once-daily long-dwell exchange in peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Does peritoneal dialysis affect blood sugar?

Since PD uses sugar-based solutions (glucose) to perform dialysis, people with diabetes starting PD often see a rise in their blood sugar levels. Very high sugar levels (greater than 300 mg/dl) can occur in PD patients, but it is uncommon for this to cause symptoms.

What is a common problem with peritoneal dialysis?

Infections. The most common problem for people receiving peritoneal dialysis is peritonitis, an infection of the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). An infection can also develop at the site where the tube (catheter) is inserted to carry the cleansing fluid into and out of your abdomen.

When do you use EXTRANEAL?

Extraneal is recommended for use during the longest dwell period, i.e. in CAPD usually overnight and in APD for the long daytime dwell. The mode of therapy, frequency of treatment, exchange volume, duration of dwell and length of dialysis should be initiated and supervised by the physician.

When is EXTRANEAL used?

Extraneal is recommended as a once daily replacement for a single glucose exchange as part of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) regimen for the treatment of chronic renal failure, particularly for patients who have lost ultrafiltration on glucose solutions.
