Ultrafiltration in peritoneal dialysis

摘要: There is a clinical requirement to remove excess body water, electrolytes, and other uremic toxins on regular basis from patients with end-stage renal failure. During extracorporeal artificial kidney treatment, fluid removed by simply applying difference in hydrostatic or hydraulic pressure across the synthetic membrane. This approach impractical during peritoneal dialysis; instead, patient creating osmotic between dialysis solution blood. Thus, removal primarily osmosis commonly referred as ultrafiltration (or ultrafiltration) because of similarities transmembrane movement [1]. We will focus this chapter describing both driving forces that move peritoneum rate solute transport accompanies transperitoneal movement.
