Computational modelling of peritoneal dialysis: an overview [PDF]

, 2023
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is becoming more popular as a result of a rising interest in home dialysis, lower intrusion in social life and longer preservation of residual kidney function. However, PD has several important drawbacks: small solute clearance is relatively low compared to hemodialysis and technique survival is limited.

Unveiling Vulnerability and Inequality in Disrupted Access to Dialysis Centers During Urban Flooding [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Despite the criticality of dialysis facilities, limited knowledge exists regarding the extent and inequality of disrupted access caused by weather events. This study uses mobility data in the context of the 2017 Hurricane Harvey in Harris County to examine the impact of flooding on access to dialysis centers.

A mathematical model for fluid-glucose-albumin transport in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]

Int. J. Appl. Math.Comp.Sci. vol. 24 (2014) P. 837-851, 2013
A mathematical model for fluid and solute transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions.
