A method of indirectly determining D/P creatinine for easily judging a peritoneal function is provided that does not require blood sampling or multiple recoveries of dialysis effluent. The method includes preparing a dialysis effluent obtained by peritoneal dialysis, measuring at least one protein marker selected from the group consisting of prealbumin, haptoglobin, alpha 1-microglobulin, C4, and total protein that are contained in the dialysis effluent, and determining D/P creatinine indirectly from the correlation equation that represents the relationship between the marker concentration and the D/P creatinine value that has been prepared beforehand. Furthermore, the PET category is determined indirectly from the D/P creatinine, which has been determined indirectly, based on the known reference value.
