Last night I chose 2.5% dextrose for all three bags of dialysis solution. I must have miscalculated total UF (ultra filtration) plus final manual drain and left too much solution behind. I think it was 638 mL + 273 mL. I guess I was targeting about 900 mL total but for the all “green” (color code for 2.5% dextrose) solution, total UF should be around 1500 mL.
Anyway, I just drained out 2380 mL at noon and the drain bag was pretty full. Abdomen is still sore from carrying all that fluid around for six hours.
What 5+ lbs of drained solution looks like:
