A combined blood treatment and peritoneal dialysis ("PD") system is described. The system comprises: a peritoneal dialysis (PD) unit (20); a blood treatment unit (40); a control unit (26, 46) with memory; and a user interface that operates with the control unit. The control unit is programmed to: (i) determine whether a previous PD treatment left a last fill of dialysate in a patient's peritoneum; (ii) if a next treatment is a PD treatment cause the user interface to provide a PD setup procedure and if the previous treatment did not leave the last fill of dialysate in the patient's peritoneum, implement a PD treatment in which a first cycle is a fill cycle; (iii) if a next treatment is a PD treatment cause the user interface to provide a PD setup procedure and if the previous treatment did leave the last fill of dialysate in the patient's peritoneum, implement a PD treatment in which a first cycle is a last fill drain cycle; (iv) if a next treatment is a blood treatment cause the user interface to provide a blood treatment setup procedure and if the previous PD treatment did leave the last fill of dialysate in the patient's peritoneum, implement a blood treatment that includes a last fill drain cycle; and (v) if a next treatment is a blood treatment cause the user interface to provide a blood treatment setup procedure and if the previous PD treatment did not leave the last fill of dialysate in the patient's peritoneum, implement a blood treatment that does not include a last fill drain cycle. |
