1. A peritoneal dialysis system comprising: at least one pump;
a memory device configured to store:
ultrafiltration (“UF”) therapy prescriptions including a first UF therapy prescription, a second UF therapy prescription with a longer duration and a lower dextrose concentration compared to the first UF therapy prescription, and a third UF therapy prescription with a shorter duration and a higher dextrose concentration compared to the first UF therapy prescription,
a schedule indicative as to which of the first, second, or third UF therapy prescriptions are to be performed on specified dates, and
a limit of possible permissible UF therapy prescription changes for a given week; and

a logic implementer communicatively coupled to the memory device and configured to:
determine or identify a current date;
use the schedule stored in the memory device to select one of the first, second, or third UF therapy prescription based on the current date;
receive an input from a patient regarding a selection of one of the first, second, or third UF therapy prescription for the current date that is changed from the UF therapy prescription specified by the schedule:
increment a counter regarding a number of times that the patient selected UF therapy prescription was used to perform a peritoneal dialysis therapy instead of the UF therapy prescription specified by the schedule for a current week:
determine whether the counter is below the limit of permissible UF therapy prescription changes; and
when the counter is below the limit, control the at least one pump based on the patient selected UF therapy prescription instead of the UF therapy prescription specified by the schedule to perform a peritoneal dialysis therapy.
