Experts recommend that biocompatible multi-chambered PD fluids which are low in glucose degradation products (GDP) should become the standard of care for children on PD2. Children dialyzed with biocom¬patible PD fluid show significant catch-up growth when compared to children on conventional solutions3.
The concentration of glucose degradation products (GDPs) differs considerably. balance and bicaVera show lowest levels of GDPs compared to other biocompatible PD fluids7.
bicaVera is purely bicarbonate-buffered and proven to better correct metabolic acidosis than lactate containing PD fluids 4,5. It is recommended in end stage renal failure2.
The use of bicarbonate-buffered PD fluids in comparison to conventional lactate-buffered fluids is associated with lower incidence of infusion pain4 and reduced capillary recruitment2.
