Peritoneal Dialysis Solutions

2013
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions contribute to homeostasis in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) by removing accumulated electrolytes and toxins, maintaining acid-base balance, and removing excess fluid through ultrafiltration. To achieve these functions, current PD solutions are an electrolyte solution of sodium, calcium and magnesium to ...

Dialysis and Concentration of Protein Solutions

Current Protocols in Immunology, 1997
AbstractConventional dialysis separates small molecules from large molecules by allowing diffusion of only the small molecules through selectively permeable membranes. This appendix describes dialysis of large‐ and small‐volume samples using cellulose membranes with pore sizes designed to exclude molecules above a selected molecular weight.

Vasoactive Components of Dialysis Solution

Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 2008
Background Conventional peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions elicit vasodilation, which is implicated in the variable rate of solute transport during the dwell. The components causing such vasoactivity are still controversial.

Experimental Peritoneal Dialysis Solutions

Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 1993
A survey of the literature suggests continued interest in modifying the composition of peritoneal dialysis solutions. Osmotic agents such as glucose polymers and short-chain polypeptides may find a role in peritoneal dialysis fluids as partial substitutes for dextrose.

Irrigations and Dialysis Solutions

2015
Irrigations are sterile solutions that are used in many ways, such as flushing a catheter, the bladder, the urethra, wounds, body cavities, and the operation area or for drenching a bandage.

Solutions for Peritoneal Dialysis

1996
Solute removal in peritoneal dialysis is achieved both by diffusion and convection. The first mechanism takes place because of the concentration gradient between the blood of the peritoneal capillary and the peritoneal dialysis solution infused in the abdomen.

Glucotoxicity in Peritoneal Dialysis—Solutions for the Solution!

Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2007
Glucose has served well as the prototypical osmotic agent in peritoneal dialysis for more than 2 decades, because it affords many of the characteristics required of a safe and effective osmotic agent. The disadvantages of glucose include its rapid dissipation from the peritoneum and its resulting limited UF efficiency capacity in high and high-average ...

Principles of Bound Solute Dialysis

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2006
Abstract:  Toxins that bind to albumin in the bloodstream and are associated with progressing liver failure have proven refractory to removal by conventional hemodialysis. Such toxins can, however, be removed by adding a binder to the dialysate that serves to capture the toxin as it is dialyzed across the membrane.
