Table 5 Volumes of water removal predicted by the distributed model: net UF for the whole APD session, first (C1) and second (C2) APD cycle and mean ± SD net UF in consecutive cycles (C3+), and water accumulation in the peritoneal tissue during the first cycle (C1) and during first two cycles (C1 plus C2) for a typical patient undergoing APD with a dry day regime (APDDD) with infusion of 100 mL of glucose 1.36% during the day to prevent pain.
