Abstract
A renal failure therapy system for performing a peritoneal dialysis therapy is disclosed. The renal failure therapy system performs a plurality of peritoneal dialysis cycles for a patient and tracks an amount of dialysis fluid provided by a dialysis fluid pump during the plurality of peritoneal dialysis cycles. The renal failure therapy system also determines, as an initial drain volume, how much dialysis fluid resides in the patient's peritoneal cavity at a start of a next dialysis treatment and determines an initial drain flow for the next dialysis treatment. The renal failure therapy system generates an alert when it is determined from the initial drain flow that a low drain flow or a drain flow stoppage could occur before the initial drain volume is recovered for the start of the next dialysis treatment.
