My hospital is adamant 85% if the correct figure for all their patients on PD. I daily have to manually drain at the end and take another 600 plus off. Looking at cycles I always have a few that are negative 200. I luckily rarely get drain pain but it’s no doubt as I’ve lots of fluid left behind. I’m pushing for a higher figure, I think if it was 100% or higher I would clear more and as far as I’m aware there is no danger in doing so unlike lowering it.

The lower figure also means on occasion I wake with such a full tummy mid dialysis cycles I need to manually drain.

What is everyone else’s threshold set to and have you challenged your health team to change it?
