Background
In the clinic, we noted that PD patients who
required hypertonic peritoneal dialysis (HPD) solution soon after the initiation of PD were more likely to require amputation
Hypothesis
Early HPD use is related to future amputation in PD patients
Methods
Extract a Longitudinal Health Insurance Database
(LHID) from National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of the National Health
Methods
Enrolled patients
First diagnosed with ESRD ( ICD-9-CM code 585) and receiving PD.
HPD cohort: received HS (i.e., 7.5% icodextrin
solution or 4.25% dextrose solution)
within the first 6 months of initiating PD . Comparison cohort: other new PD patients
Methods
Excluded:
(1) who underwent amputation before the index date (2) who registered ESRD but did not have record of PD
(3) who had received HD or had undergone renal transplantation before the index date.
We followed the cohorts until diagnosis and surgery

Discussion
Recent commencement of dialysis therapy has been
recognized as an influential risk factor for lower limb amputation in the DM population
Discussion
Several researchers have studied the
pathophysiological changes that occur during
hemodialysis, which may contribute to these limb-threatening conditions.
Systemic hypoxemia, microcirculatory
hypoperfusion, and decreased transcutaneous
oxygen tension of the lower limbs can occur during and after HD; all these factors could lead to limb ischemia and amputation

Discussion
Although there are no comparable data on PD, it is
possible that HPD could produce similar effects.
HPD might create a more rapid fluid shift into the
peritoneal cavity, reducing microcirculatory blood flow and tissue oxygen tension.
PD patients placed on HPD have clinical signs of
fluid overload, such as hypertension and tissue edema, which may worsen tissue oxygenation status.
Discussion
Li et al found that PD patients have higher incidence
rates of mesenteric ischemia than HD patients,
indicating that PD therapy might contribute to the advancement of microvascular disease

Discussion
the strengths of this study We excluded subjects with previous amputations.
Excluding patients with past amputation might
eliminate possible bias with regard to analyzing future amputation and provide a clearer
interpretation of the effect of HPD on limb ischemia.
Discussion
the limitations of this study The number of subjects was relatively small,
Discussion
the limitations of this study It is possible that some patients had subclinical
PVD.
However, we also considered co-morbidities such
as foot ulcers, heart failure, and cardiovascular risk factors associated with PVD, suggesting that any effect of undiagnosed PVD on our results was
Discussion
the limitations of this study Lack precise information about smoking status
and the calcium and phosphate levels, which might be associated with the risk of future amputation.
However, Pliakogiannis et al reported that time
average Kt/v, creatinine clearance, serum calcium levels, calcium and phosphate production, and
intact parathyroid hormone level are not associated with amputation in PD patients
Discussion
the limitations of this study We also lacked information about the subjects’
scores on baseline measures of circulatory status, such as the ankle-brachial index (ABI)
Given that ABI is not correlated with the severity
of peripheral arterial disease among dialysis
patients and would be falsely elevated by arterial calcification, it may be appropriate to overlook ABI in the current study.
Conclusion
Along with diabetes, early utilization of HPD
is associated with the subsequent risk of amputation in PD patients.
We suggest that PD patients be provided
intensive education on foot protection and screening for evidence of limb ischemia, especially those who received HPD early.
