1. An automatic peritoneal dialysis sampling process comprising:
performing a peritoneal dialysis treatment comprising a dwell phase and a drain phase automatically sampling, at specific time intervals, volumic fluid fractions of a dialysate contained in a peritoneum of a patient to evaluate a peritoneal membrane characteristic of the peritoneum and/or improve a peritoneal dialysis for the patient, employing a peritoneal dialysis sampling system comprising a series of sampling containers, pump, and a series of valves that direct a certain quantity of each fluid fraction sample of dialysate taken from the peritoneum of the patient to a specific sampling container in the series of sampling containers; wherein the employed system comprises a supplying line and a supply container for supplying dialysis to a peritoneal cavity, a draining line and a drain container for draining the fluid from said peritoneal cavity, and a connecting port for allowing a connection to a Y-site on the draining line which is situated between the patient peritoneum and the drain container; and allowing the automatic sampling to occur during the dwell time of the peritoneal dialysis cycle and/or during the drain cycle in order to improve the evaluation of the peritoneal membrane characteristics and/or improve the peritoneal dialysis for the patient. |
