About this trial
Randomized, controlled, parallel groups, open-label, blinded end-point assessment, multicenter study, comparing the effects of a low glucose peritoneal dialysis solution, XyloCore, to glucose solutions (Physioneal, Fixioneal, Dianeal, Balance, Bicavera, Bicanova or Equibalance) only regimen, in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) receiving Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD), over a 6-month study period.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Total weekly Kt/Vurea
To measure solutes and calculate peritoneal and renal Kt/V (summing up to total Kt/V), dialysate outflow and urine covering 24 hours will be collected, the volumes will be determined, and a blood sample will be taken
Secondary outcomes
Changes in HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin)
Change from baseline value
Insulin
Changes from the baseline value
LDL cholesterol
Changes from the baseline value
HDL cholesterol
