5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial is to establish whether ultrafiltration by peritoneal dialysis is a clinically effective treatment for patients with severe heart failure and moderate chronic kidney disease, thus improving quality of life and symptoms.
Detailed Description
The trial is a multi-centre, prospective, randomised, unblended, controlled trial of intermittent PD with a single daily exchange of icodextrin plus best standard care versus best standard care for the treatment of severe HF and moderate CKD. A second exchange with glucose based solution may be given, should it be required in the investigator's/clinician's opinion. Investigators will randomise 130 participants for 32 weeks with randomisation stratified by participating centre. Participants will be recruited from specialist-led outpatient HF services in 6 NHS trusts and be managed by both cardiologists and nephrologists. PD catheter insertion will occur according to the participating centre's institutional protocol. Treatment begins 1 week after catheter insertion and consists of a single nightly exchange.

Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Peritoneal Dialysis
Intervention Description
One week after insertion of a PD catheter the intervention group will received a single nightly exchange, using dialysis fluid containing icodextrin; a variable proportion of participants may require a second exchange as directed by the consultant nephrologist as part of routine care. The second exchange would use dialysis fluid containing glucose, not icodextrin. Support and training will be given to each participant by the PD specialist team.
