As blood in the peritoneal capillaries comes into contact with dialysate in the peritoneal cavity, solutes in the blood diffuse into the dialysate. The osmotic gradient created by glucose in the ...

For most people, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are equally effective treatments for end stage renal disease. Factors such as your health, preferences, and the costs may influence your final ...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has achieved its current position as the most commonly used home-based dialysis therapy—and with patient survival equal to that seen with hemodialysis—despite the use of ...

During continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, the peritoneum is exposed to bioincompatible dialysis fluids that cause denudation of mesothelial cells and, ultimately, tissue fibrosis and failure ...

There are two main types of dialysis to replace kidney function when kidneys fail. In Singapore, haemodialysis (HD) is more common. Blood is removed, cleansed and returned to the body in a procedure ...

Over the past decade new solutions for peritoneal dialysis have been developed in an effort to reduce the bioincompatibility of conventional glucose-containing, lactate-buffered solutions, and thereby ...

ADELAIDE, Australia, Dec. 17 -- The choice between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis does not have a one-size-fits-all answer, researchers found. Which strategy gave the best chance of survival ...

Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment option for kidney failure. It uses the lining of the abdomen, or peritoneum, to filter blood inside the body. A person can perform peritoneal dialysis at home, ...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a type of dialysis that removes waste and excess fluid from the body via blood vessels in the peritoneum, a membrane that lines the inner abdominal wall. This abdominal ...
