AB  - The proportion of patients performing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) is 
      increasing worldwide, a development probably caused by the better possibilities 
      of adapting APD to the patients' individual needs with respect to private life as 
      well as dialysis adequacy. Patients prefer the independence from dialysis during 
      the day and report a higher quality of life compared to patients on continuous 
      ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). In case of declining clearance rates, 
      Kt/V, or sodium removal rates, a change in the APD regimen, together with higher 
      fill volumes and, for example, combination with daytime CAPD, offers the tools to 
      increase the dialysis dose as required by the individual clinical situation. The 
      development of an online dialysis solution production system for APD could even 
      improve the possibilities of individualizing peritoneal dialysis by providing 
      variable concentrations of glucose, sodium, and bicarbonate buffer.
