We wished to determine whether there were differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients within the first 3 months of starting PD. Methods: We reviewed results of corresponding bioimpedance and the 1st test of peritoneal membrane function (PET) in consecutive patients, 6-10 weeks after initiating PD electively. Results: Adult patients numbering 386 - 230 males (59.6%), 152 (39.4%) diabetic, 188 (48.7%) white, mean age 57.3 ±16.9 years - were studied. Although weight, residual renal function and peritoneal clearances were not different, diabetic patients had greater extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW; 40.4 ± 1.1 vs. 39.2 ± 1.4) and % ECW excess (9.6 [6.3-12.3] vs. 4.9 [0.7-8.9]), lower serum albumin (35.2 ± 4.7 vs. 37.8 ± 4.9 g/L), greater fat mass index (9.5 ± 4.2 vs. 7.7 ± 4.2), and although mean arterial blood pressure was similar, arterial pulse pressure was greater (66.9 ± 10.8 vs. 54.3 ± 17.3 mm Hg, all p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, glycated haemoglobin was associated with pulse pressure (standardised ? 0.24, p < 0.001), N terminal brain natriuretic peptide (? 0.24, p < 0.001), ECW/TBW (? 0.19, p = 0.012) and negatively with serum albumin (? -0.14, p = 0.033) and creatinine (? -0.18, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Diabetic patients electively starting PD were found to have greater ECW/TBW ratios and ECW excess 6-10 weeks after starting PD compared to non-diabetics, despite similar PET. Increased ECW could predispose diabetic patients to be at greater risk of volume overload. ID - discovery1561101 PB - KARGER ER -
