Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overarching goal of this proposal is to definitively establish if acute water free Na storage and release occurs, if the amount stored/released is of a quantity that is physiologically relevant, and if the location is intracellular vs. extracellular.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed as a an ultra-rigorous inpatient balance study. The main purpose of the study is to determine if significant mobilizable non- extracellular volume (ECV) Na storage occurs in humans. This is a randomized, blinded crossover study. Patients will be randomized to Na free 5% dextrose solution or 1.5% standard peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid (Dianeal 1.5% low calcium PD solution with standard 132 mmol/L Na and osmolarity of 344 mOsmol/L) and will receive treatment for 5 days, following a 6 week wash out patient will return to undergo 5 days of alternate therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* daily urine output \< 400ml
* stable PD prescription for at least 2 months without requirement of 4.25% glucose PD solution
* PD vintage of at least 6 months
* Euvolemic as defined by the patient at their dry weight and free of any signs or symptoms of volume overload, per referring nephrologist

Exclusion Criteria
