The Peritoneal Equilibrium and Adequacy Test is a diagnostic procedure designed to assess the efficiency and functionality of peritoneal dialysis in patients. This test evaluates how well waste products and excess fluid are removed from the blood through the peritoneum, which acts as a natural semipermeable membrane during dialysis. It measures the peritoneal transport rate, which is crucial for optimizing dialysis prescriptions to meet individual patient needs, ensuring both the removal of toxins and the balance of fluids in the body.

At DNA Labs UAE, this specialized test is offered for 480 AED. The facility ensures precise and reliable results by utilizing advanced laboratory techniques and equipment. Conducted by experienced professionals, the test results help in tailoring the dialysis treatment plan, improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for those with kidney failure or other conditions requiring peritoneal dialysis.

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.

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.
