Biocompatible dialysis fluids for peritoneal dialysis
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014The longevity of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is limited by high rates of technique failure, some of which stem from peritoneal membrane injury. 'Biocompatible' PD solutions have been developed to reduce damage to the peritoneal membrane.This review aimed to look at the benefits and harms of biocompatible PD solutions in comparison to standard PD solutions

Principles of dialysis and dialysis of drugs
The American Journal of Medicine, 1977Consideration of the interactions of drugs and dialysis must include an understanding of the mechanisms of transport during dialysis, i.e., diffusion, ultrafiltration and membrane-protein binding effects. Clearance is a function of molecular size, blood and dialysate flow, membrane area and permeability, and dialyzer support geometry.

Dialysis outcomes as a measure of adequacy of dialysis
Seminars in Nephrology, 2005Truly adequate dialysis would restore patients to full health, with functional status and length of life indistinguishable from others of the same age, sex, and race without chronic kidney disease. We are far from achieving such outcomes, however, in part because of the dearth of available evidence on which areas of care should be emphasized to get the

Complementary Dialysis for Daily Dialysis
Blood Purification, 2004The greatest benefit of PD ist the continuous maintenance of a stable electrolyte and acid-base balance, as well as a continuous solute, sodium and water removal. Moreover, PD is effective in preserving residual renal function (RRF). However, when RRF declines, complications will occur if not compensated for by an increase in both the dialysis dose and

Journal of Dialysis, 1977
With better understanding of the pathophysiology of uremia, the development of more efficient dialysis techniques and more portable machinery, a larger number of patients on maintenance dialysis are not stable enough to undertake travel to places where a regular hemodialysis center may not be availabel or to travel on a ship for a relatively long ...

Normalization of Dialysis Dose for Daily Dialysis
Hemodialysis International, 2001The equilibrated Kt/V (eKtV) is widely used in hemodialysis (HD) as a measure of the intensity (magnitude) of an individual dialysis treatment. Adequate eKt/V for thrice‐weekly hemodialysis (twHD) has been extensively studied, and a value in the range 1.0 – 1.1 per treatment (3.0 – 3.3 weekly) is generally considered to represent adequate therapy for ...

Dialysis water as a determinant of the adequacy of dialysis
Seminars in Nephrology, 2005Hemodialysis patients are exposed to large volumes of water in the form of dialysate. Contaminants from the dialysate may cross the dialyzer membrane into the blood and have the potential to compromise the adequacy of dialysis. Several chemicals found commonly in drinking water have long been known to be toxic to hemodialysis patients.

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1998
Dialysis techniques are discussed as a means for effective removal of low-molecular-mass components from fermentation broth to reach high cell density. Reactor systems and process strategies, the relevant properties of membranes and examples for high-density fermentation with dialysis, and problems related to scale-up are addressed.

Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2011
Increasing numbers of patients are starting dialysis who have limited prognoses for 6-month survival. The presence of multiple comorbidities, aging, and frailty contributes to this phenomenon. The rate of dialysis withdrawal has been accelerating over the past decade, and this calls into question the condition of patients who are initiating dialysis ...
