Potassium for peritoneal dialysis isotonic fluid

Isotonic fluid for peritoneal dialysis does not have potassium . while doing the peritoneal dialysis of a child we do not add potassium to the dialysis fluid on day 1 . from second day onwards of dialysis we add 4 Milli equivalent per litre of potassium if serum Potassium is less than 3.5 Milli equivalent per litre. we do serum electrolytes daily. on day 1 of peritoneal dialysis restart 100% maintenance Fluids after few cycles of peritoneal dialysis .we had previously restricted Fluids because of absent urine output and fluid overload .in case of no urine output Fluids are restricted to 400 ml per metre square per day + urine output.
