Chapter
Impact of Increasing Intraperitoneal Volume on Left Ventricular Function in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Twardowski and others have demonstrated that high-volume, low-frequency continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) can produce solute clearances comparable to those associated with traditional CAPD.(1) Litt...

Chapter
One-Year Experience with Swan-Neck Missouri 2 Catheter
Four major complications of peritoneal dialysis catheters include: external cuff extrusion, obstruction (usually a sequela of catheter-tip migration out of the true pelvis with subsequent omental wrap**), ex...

Chapter
Tidal Peritoneal Dialysis
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients are being frequently transferred to nightly peritoneal dialysis (NPD) because of complications related to high intraabdominal pressure and/or high peri...

Chapter
Neostigmine Increases Net Ultrafiltration and Solute Clearances in Peritoneal Dialysis by Reducing Lymphatic Absorption
Peritoneal cavity lymphatic absorption significantly reduces net ultrafiltration (UF) and solute clearances in peritoneal dialysis.(1,2) Lymphatic absorption from the peritoneal cavity occurs primarily via the su...

Chapter
Lymphatic Absorption in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients with Normal and High Transperitoneal Glucose Transport
Ultrafiltration (UF) in peritoneal dialysis is induced by the osmotic pressure of the hypertonic dextrose dialysis solution. The progressive loss of peritoneal UF capacity observed in some continuous ambulator...

Chapter
The Kinetics of Ultrafiltration during Peritoneal Dialysis in Rats The Role of Lymphatics
It is known that fluid, cells, and particulate matter can be absorbed from the peritoneal cavity via subdiaphragmatic lymphatics.(1–3) The diaphragmatic contractions generate convective flow of lymphatic contents...
