Filter by:Patients with average or high average peritoneal glucose transport status be included in the study as mentioned in the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The change in peritoneal glucose transport will be evaluated before and after one month treatment with 10 mg of Dapagliflozin. Peritoneal Equilibration Test (PET) test for patients before and after Dapagliflozin use and volume status of patients as measured by ultrafiltration from peritoneal dialysis exchanges. The aim of the trial is to determine whether dapagliflozin can decrease glucose absorption from peritoneal fluid and reduce plasma glucose absorption from the PD fluid and thus improve ultrafiltration with a reduction in intraperitoneal glucose exposure
The study is a proof-of-concept, a feasibility study of peritoneal ultrafiltration with a wearable device, Carry Life System Ultrafiltration (CLS UF) and will be performed on 4-6 stable peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients without clinical signs of dehydration. The study session starts with an initial fill of the abdomen, with a standard, glucose based PD solution. The CLS UF device is then connected to the patients existing, PD catheter. A Glucose-salt solution is added to 180 ml of the intraperitoneal fluid which is intermittently transferred from the peritoneal cavity through a closed system using the CLS UF cycler and then returned to the patient. The addition of the Glucose-salt solution maintains a stable intraperitoneal osmolarity and compensates for the glucose uptake and dilution which occurs in standard PD treatments.
