Ultrafiltration Efficiency (UFE): UFE is defined as the amount of 24 hour net Ultrafiltration (UF) obtained for every gram of carbohydrate absorbed from the dialysis solution. 1. 24-hour net ultrafiltration (in mL) is recorded automatically by the Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) cycler. 2. Carbohydrate absorption is determined by calculating the difference (in grams) between the amount of glucose (measured by lab analysis) in the 24 hr peritoneal effluent, and the amount of glucose in the patient's dialysis prescription. 3. UFE will be calculated in mL/g (ie a divided by b)
