LOINC description : This panel contains terms for the Peritoneal Equilibration Test (PET) which is used
to assess transport properties of the peritoneal membrane for patients undergoing
peritoneal dialysis. Patients arrive at the dialysis unit in the morning with their
overnight dwell fluid still in the abdomen. The overnight fluid is drained, and after
complete drainage, in the classic PET, 2000 ml of a 2.27% glucose solution is instilled
and peritoneal dialysis is begun. Ten ml samples are drawn at time 0, 2, and 4 hours
to measure creatinine, urea, and glucose. The PET assesses the rate of solute equilibration
between peritoneal capillary blood and dialysate based on the ratio of the solute
concentrations in dialysate and plasma (D/P). PET results are used to adjust various
aspects of a patient's peritoneal dialysis regimen, including dwell time, number of
exchanges, and dialysis volume and composition. [PMID: 7474677];
