the presence or measurement of residual renal function was not important for most nephrologists, especially those looking after hemodialysis patients
bilateral nephrectomies were sometimes performed to help improve blood pressure control, or pre-transplantation

1. maybe it is just associated with being a healthier patient
2. better clearance of middle molecular weight uremic toxins
3. maintenance of euvolemia (via salt & water excretion)
4. intrinsic anti-inflammatory effect

initial studies found increase in urine volume and GFR with “biocompatible” solutions
results complicated by increased D/P creatinine and reduced ultrafiltration
relative volume excess may have driven the increased urine volume and GFR
Williams et al Kidney Int 2004 Haag Weber Neph Dial Transpl 2010
other studies have not found preservation of RRF with “biocompatible” solutions

What about Icodextrin? When patients had normal volume status and were given
icodextrin, urine output fell Konings et al Kidney Int 2003 Rodriguez-Carmona et al Perit Dial Int 2007
When patients had increased volume status and were given icodextrin, no change in urine output
Davies et al J Am Soc Nephrol 2003
Changes to residual renal function may simply reflect
the changes to volume status

Preservation of Residual Kidney Function by ACE Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
preservation of 1 ml/min – so what?
most studies show that each ml/min of residual GFR associated with 15 – 25% reduction in annual mortality
this is theoretically as life-prolonging as results seen in the ACE-I, statin or spironolactone trials for heart disease

diuretics increase renal salt and water excretion
they do not acutely change GFR no evidence over longer term that they either
improve or worsen GFR after 1 year: preservation of urine volume main use is for management of volume status

this is a biologically sensible association better preservation of RRF may be a major benefit
of PD compared to HD preserving renal function is the major focus of the
new generation of adequacy guidelines for both HD and PD
