An acidic (pH 5.2) pyruvate‐based peritoneal dialysis solution or an equally acidic lactate‐based counterpart was added to a residual fluid (i.e., peritoneal effluent) obtained from each of 6 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. It was found that the residual fluids were able to raise the pH of the resultant residual fluid/peritoneal dialysis solution mixture to a higher level in the case of the pyruvate‐based solution than in the case of the lactate‐based one. Key Words: Acidic‐Pyruvate‐Lactate‐Peritoneal dialysis solution‐Residual fluid‐pH.
