Hi,
My husband has just started APD. He is on day 7 on 1 yellow bag, 1 green and 1x2L Extraneal.
We have been plagued with low drainage alarms since day 1 which the PD nurses cant explain but the main problem is that his initial drain is only ever 200-300mls which has everyone confused as he has been carrying 2L of fluid all day.
Last night his initial drain was 200mls but his total UF was 2500mls. he spoke to the PD unit about it and all they say is that shouldn't be happening and that the total UF doesn't count if the initial drain is so low.
Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do about it?
Thanks very much xx
