Title: How much UV?
Post by: murf on May 12, 2011, 02:29:15 PM

Of those on PD, how much fluid do you pull off? I have been of late taking off 2L and clinic said they need to decrease the glucose content of the bags. What's "normal"?

Well, when doing 4 manual exchanges a day, I can pull 2 liters easy, sometimes as high as 3L.

On the Cycler, I have been averaging 700ml over a night.

Regardless of how much fluid I'm pulling off, I'm more interested in my Kt/V.

My  UF  was  always  between 1800-2600/day.
That  was  with  2.5%  (green)  bags.
If  I  used  1.5%  (yellow)  I  would  average  800-900/day

It all depends on what you eat, and the bags used.  Sometimes I notice that I get a negative UF when I use a 1.5 solution, and other days I'll get between 100-600.  If I use a higher bag I always get between 800-1500 off.  Those are the days I like getting on the scale  :yahoo;
