ABSTRACT

Although peritoneal equilibration testing (PET) is increasingly used in chronic peritoneal dialysis, there is little knowledge about the clinical impact of PET in the acute setting. We report about more than threefold increases in lactate removal by adjusting the dialysis prescription according to the results of PET in an infant with severe congenital lactic acidosis.
