Although peritoneal equilibration testing (PET) is increasingly used in chronic peritoneal
dialysis, there is little knowledge about the clinical impact of PET in the acute
setting. We report about more than threefold increases in lactate removal by adjusting
the dialysis prescription according to the results of PET in an infant with severe
congenital lactic acidosis.
