Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Assessing the peritoneal dialysis effluent for the presence of calciprotein particles. Once a week for 8 weeks, in no particular order, participants will administer a specified PD fluid bag (listed below) and return that bag of effluent for analysis. The PD bags are:
1. Dianeal 1.5% PD4
2. Dianeal 4.25% PD4
3. Physioneal 1.36% PD4
4. Physioneal 3.86 % PD4
5. Extraneal 7.5%
6. Nutrineal 1.1%
7. Dianeal 1.5% PD2
8. Dianeal 1.5% PD1

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 289876 0
CPP levels will be estimated by assessing the apparent reduction in total fetuin-A concentration (measured by specific ELISA) after high-speed centrifugation as previously described in Smith ER et al 2013 Nephrology 18(3):215-21.
Timepoint [1] 289876 0
Once a week after each exchange for 8 weeks
Secondary outcome [1] 303461 0
Fluid pH will be measured by potentiometry using a pH electrode.

Statistical methods / analysis
Statistical analysis based upon preliminary data where the mean CPP% in PD fluid is 21 with standard deviation of 5. A sample size of 14 patients should detect a significant 5% difference (p<0.05) in mean CPP level with a 80% power.

Summary
Brief summary
There is a need to better understand the mechanisms involved in peritoneal membrane deterioration in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. We have found that a recently discovered particle (calciprotein particle, CPP) is present at high levels in drained out peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). Experimental work suggests that CPP may promote inflammation and calcification in certain situations. This is a pilot study to ascertain whether differences in PDF composition, in particular with respect to fluid glucose and calcium concentration, effect the formation and levels of CPP present in drained PDF. We hypothesise that PDF containing higher glucose and calcium concentrations would be associated with greater intra-peritoneal CPP accumulation, which may predispose to peritoneal inflammation, calcification and ultimately, technique failure.
