METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS FLUIDS WITH VARYING SODIUM CONCENTRATIONS

摘要

Methods are provided for preparing a ready-to-use peritoneal dialysis fluid for peritoneal dialysis of a patient. The methods comprise mixing, immediately before administration to the patient, appropriate amounts of at least a first concentrate and a second concentrate with an appropriate amount of water to form a ready-to-use dialysis fluid. The first concentrate comprises glucose and has a pH of between 1.5 and 4; and the second concentrate comprises a physiologically acceptable buffer and sodium ions, and has a pH of between 5.0 and 9.0. The ready-to-use dialysis fluid has a sodium ion concentration of about 110 mM to about 145 mM and an osmolality of about 0.20 to about 0.50 Osm/kg.
