Peritoneal Dialysis Adequacy

Peritoneal dialysis adequacy refers to how effectively this treatment removes waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the body in patients with kidney failure. It involves measuring factors like how well waste products are cleared and ensuring enough dialysis exchanges are done to maintain health. Healthcare providers use specific tests and goals to assess whether the dialysis is doing its job properly. Proper adequacy helps prevent complications, keeps patients feeling better, and maintains overall health. Essentially, it’s about making sure the treatment effectively replaces the kidneys’ normal functions.
