What is the difference between CCPD and CAPD?

CAPD and CCPD have reversed periods of freedom-CAPD at night and CCPD during the day. Because of the shorter freedom cycle of CAPD (nocturnal), this modality is more efficient, assuming equal dialysate flow. Thus, it is impor- tant to use hypertonic solutions (4.25% glucose) in order to prevent dialysate absorption.
