Mechanism of Action

The drug is a bicarbonate-based peritoneal dialysis solution that buffers metabolic acidosis, removes uremic toxins, and corrects electrolyte imbalances via diffusion and ultrafiltration across the peritoneal membrane. It does not have a traditional receptor-mediated mechanism.

Water is a solvent and diluent for parenteral administration; it provides hydration and maintains osmotic balance. It has no pharmacological activity.

Clinical Dosing

Intravenous infusion only. Each 1000 mL bag contains 4 g of amino acids and 2.5 g of lipids. Typical adult dose: 1.5-2.0 g/kg/day of amino acids (equivalent to 37.5-50 mL/kg/day) and 1.0-1.5 g/kg/day of lipids. Administer at a rate not to exceed 0.11 g/kg/hour of amino acids and 0.15 g/kg/hour of lipids. For a 70 kg patient, this equals approximately 2.6-3.5 L/day.

Intravenous administration; dose determined by clinical requirements for hydration, drug dilution, or vehicle for parenteral medications. Typical adult maintenance: 30 mL/kg/day, adjusted for electrolyte and fluid status.
