Modelling of icodextrin hydrolysis and kinetics during peritoneal dialysis

Scientific Reports, 2023
In peritoneal dialysis, ultrafiltration is achieved by adding an osmotic agent into the dialysis fluid. During an exchange with icodextrin-based solution, polysaccharide chains are degraded by α-amylase activity in dialysate, influencing its osmotic ...

Use of Toll-like receptor assays for the detection of bacterial contaminations in icodextrin batches released for peritoneal dialysis

Toxicology Reports, 2017
Icodextrin is a starch derivative used for preparing solutions of peritoneal dialysis. Unfortunately, peptidoglycans (PGN) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) have been reported to contaminate certain icodextrin batches and to contribute to the development of ...

Clinical rationale behind glucose-sparing strategies in peritoneal dialysis: a narrative review [PDF]

BMC Nephrology
The effectiveness of peritoneal dialysis (PD) relies on dialysate-induced solute and water transport across the peritoneal membrane, facilitated by concentration and type of osmotic agents.
