Solutions were formulated to examine, independently, the roles of osmolality and glucose in the reduction of viability and inhibition of phagocyte function by dextrose-containing peritoneal dialysis fluids. The exposure of neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) to test fluids containing > or = 2.7% (wt/vol) glucose resulted in significant cytotoxicity as assessed by the release of lactate dehydrogenase above control values (7.12 +/- 2.65%). At the highest concentration of glucose (4.5%), lactate dehydrogenase release was 15.83 +/- 0.49% (P < 0.05). These effects were directly related to the presence of D-glucose in the test fluids. In contrast, phagocytosis and the release of leukotriene B4 from PMN stimulated with serum-treated zymosan were significantly inhibited in an osmolality-, but not glucose-, dependent manner. The inhibition of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 release from mononuclear leukocytes was inhibited by a combination of osmolality and monosaccharide concentration. Under the same conditions, PMN respiratory burst activation remained unaffected irrespective of glucose concentration or fluid osmolality. These data indicate that, in addition to the low pH of peritoneal dialysis fluid and its high lactate concentration, its glucose content (either directly or as a consequence of the resulting hyperosmolality of the fluid) inhibits cell functional parameters. These findings suggest clinically significant inhibition of host defense mechanisms because, in high-glucose dialysis fluids, osmolality does not reach physiologic values, even during extended intraperitoneal dwell periods.

Introduction. The transition of glucose into the blood during automated peritoneal dialysis with regeneration of the dialysis fluid leads to a decreased removal of excess fluid from the body and corresponding violations of the water-salt balance.Aim. To consider a system for automatically maintaining the concentration of glucose in the dialysate solution, which provides effective ultrafiltration, as well as to propose a non-contact photometric feedback sensor.Materials and methods. The sensor is an optical system of an IR laser diode with a power of 30 mW and a wavelength of 1600 nm, a photodiode and a quartz tube, through which the test solution circulates. The sensor measures the attenuation of the radiation passing through the solution in a pulsed mode and calculates the glucose concentration. The selected combination of digital filters provides compensation for the noise of the optical system. Experimental studies of the efficiency of the sensor were carried out on peritoneal dialysis solutions with various concentrations of urea, creatinine, uric acid and glucose. At the beginning of the experiments, the sensor was calibrated in a pure solution.Results. It was shown that the developed sensor makes it possible to measure the concentration of glucose in a solution for peritoneal dialysis in the range of 42…220 mmol / l with a relative error of about 15%. The time of one measurement is about 1 minute, which makes it possible to obtain up-to-date information on the current concentration of the solution.Conclusion. This combination of characteristics will allow the sensor to be used in artificial kidney wearable devices for assessing the glucose content in the solution, calculating the time to change the solution and as a feedback sensor in a system for maintaining the concentration of the osmotic agent.

There is a paucity of data on the sterility of peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF) after drug admixture. International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guidelines suggest using sterile technique when admixing antibiotics; however, the degree of sterility remains unclear. This issue is most pertinent when preparing take-home PDF for outpatient treatment of peritonitis. This study compares the sterility of PDF admixed with antibiotics using a non-touch aseptic technique (NTAT) versus sterile technique. Groups of 8 PDF mixtures (1.5% Dianeal or Icodextrin [Baxter International Inc., Spring Grove, IL, USA]) were admixed with 1 g/L ceftazidime and vancomycin, or 20 mL saline, either by a pharmacist using sterile technique in a sterile suite, or a nurse in a clinical room using NTAT. Dianeal inoculated with 1 x 106 colony-forming units (CFU)/L of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS), with and without antibiotics, served as positive controls. Admixed PDFs were left at room temperature for 72 hours, then cultured using the BacT/ALERT system. A positive culture by day 5 constituted a contamination. Differences in proportion of contamination between groups were assessed using the Chi-squared test. Eighty PDF bags underwent microbiological testing. Sterility was maintained in all bags, independent of technique (NTAT versus sterile technique), type of PDF (Dianeal versus Icodextrin), or whether antibiotics were admixed. Of the positive controls, CNS-inoculated PDFs without antibiotics were all culture positive; however, when inoculated into antibiotic-admixed PDFs, only S. haemolyticus remained culture-positive ( p < 0.0001). In conclusion, PDF sterility can be maintained using NTAT for up to 3 days at room temperature. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to adopt sterile technique in sterile suites when admixing take-home PDF.

This study examines the stability of both components of the antibacterial combination, cotrimoxazole (trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole) in peritoneal dialysis fluid stored in polyvinyl chloride bags and glass ampoules at room temperature for up to nine days. Greater than 10% loss of trimethoprim occurred within three days for admixtures stored in plastic bags, whereas the original concentration remained virtually unchanged after nine days for similar solutions stored in glass ampoules. This indicated that the loss of trimethoprim observed in solutions stored in plastic bags was associated primarily with the nature of the container, presumably due to some form of uptake by or loss through the plastic. Greater than 10% loss of sulphamethoxazole occurred within two days for all admixtures examined, stored in either glass or plastic containers. This degree of loss was achieved within 12 h for one admixture stored in plastic. There was also the time-dependent appearance of an additional peak in HPLC analyses of these solutions, indicating that loss of sulphamethoxazole was due to chemical decomposition of the drug in the peritoneal dialysis fluid. The shelf-life of such admixtures would be limited by the stability of the sulphamethoxazole component, with the available data suggesting a shelf-life of 12 h for solutions stored at room temperature.
