Peritoneal Equilibrium and Adequacy Test Price 480 AED
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The Peritoneal Equilibrium and Adequacy Test is a diagnostic test used to assess the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. It measures the ability of the peritoneal membrane to transport solutes and fluids across its surface. The test helps healthcare providers determine if the peritoneal dialysis treatment is effectively removing waste products and excess fluid from the body.
Test Components
- 10 mL (5 mL min.) aliquot of 24-hour Peritoneal dialysate fluid in a sterile screw-capped container at 0 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, overnight, and 24-hour intervals
- 10 mL (5 mL min.) aliquot of 24-hour Urine in a sterile screw-capped container
- 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST
- 2 mL (1 mL min.) plasma from 1 Grey Top (Sodium fluoride) tube
Ship all samples refrigerated. Do not freeze.
Report Delivery
Reports will be delivered daily.
Method
The Peritoneal Equilibrium and Adequacy Test is performed using spectrophotometry.
Test Type
This test is used to diagnose disorders of the kidney.
Doctor
This test is typically referred by a Nephrologist.
Test Department
This test is conducted in the Genetic Lab department.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required for this test.
Test Details
The Peritoneal Equilibrium Test (PET) is a test used to assess the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. It measures the ability of the peritoneal membrane to transport solutes and fluids across its surface.
During the PET test, a specific dialysis solution is infused into the peritoneal cavity. After a specific dwell time, the solution is drained out, and samples are taken to measure the concentration of various solutes in the drained fluid. These solutes include glucose, urea, creatinine, and electrolytes.
The results of the PET test provide information about the peritoneal membrane’s transport characteristics and the efficiency of peritoneal dialysis. The test measures the Peritoneal Equilibrium Ratio (D/P ratio) of various solutes, which indicates the rate at which these solutes equilibrate between the peritoneal cavity and the blood.
The Adequacy Test, on the other hand, assesses the overall adequacy of peritoneal dialysis by measuring the clearance of urea and creatinine. The clearance is a measure of the amount of solute removed from the blood by peritoneal dialysis over a specific period of time. The Adequacy Test typically involves collecting a 24-hour urine sample and measuring the urea and creatinine concentrations. Blood samples are also taken to measure the urea and creatinine levels in the blood. The difference in concentrations between the urine and blood samples is used to calculate the urea and creatinine clearance.
These tests help healthcare providers determine if the peritoneal dialysis treatment is effectively removing waste products and excess fluid from the body. Adequate clearance and equilibrium ratios indicate that the peritoneal dialysis is providing sufficient therapy for the patient’s kidney function.
