194 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Peritoneal Dialysis

Summary

We hypothesize incremental peritoneal dialysis (incremental PD) protocol with icodextrin solution will help patients to achieve adequate ultrafiltration and adequate dialysis with less glucose exposure by manipulating a low frequency of exchanges, therefore prolong the time from incremental protocol to full dose protocol (Full dose dialysis is defined as a dialysis dose of more than 8 L (4 exchanges of 2 L) per day). The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of icodextrin postponing the shift of low dose to full dose dialysis in the first year of incremental peritoneal dialysis. The main questions are: * The effect of icodextrin on the shift of low dose to full dose dialysis in the first year in patients on incremental peritoneal dialysis. * The effect of icodextrin on clinical outcomes in patients on incremental peritoneal dialysis, such as the first episode of peritonitis, the incidence of anuria, the first incidence of hospitalization, technical failure, all cause mortality, cardiovascular disease free survival and the quality of life. Participants will be 1:1 randomized to the ICO (icodextrin) arm and CON (control) arm. Both arms patients will be followed every 2 months for fluid status by bioimpedance analysis. An extracellular water /total body water (ECW/TBW) ≥ 0.40 or edema is defined as overhydration (OH). The OH patients in the ICO arm will be prescribed icodextrin (Extraneal) for long night dwell to improve fluid overload till their re-measurement of ECW/TBW \< 0.40 or edema disappeared. The OH patients in the CON arm will be prescribed hypertonic Dextrose solution for long night dwell to improve fluid overload till their ECW/TBW \< 0.40 or edema disappeared. Researchers will compare the time of transferring from low dose PD to full dose and the clinical outcomes in the first year between the patients in ICO and CON groups to see the effect of icodextrin on the shift of low dose to full dose dialysis and clinical outcomes in the first year in patients on incremental peritoneal dialysis. Successful completion of the study will advance our strategy of incremental PD and help to prolong the shift from incremental to full dose dialysis, and offer new opportunities for the development of an effective and economical therapy for PD patients with residual kidney function (RKF)
