Role of Ultrafiltration in Peritoneal Dialysis: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
With the widespread availability of dialysis, the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients with ESRD have been prolong. Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is an established modality of renal replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. The success of PD depends on the efficient removal of both solute and fluid. It has been observed that ultra filtration failure (UFF) in PD patients particularly with high transport characteristics results in fluid overload and increased cardiovascular mortality despite adequate solute clearance. The amount of excess fluid removed as a result of osmotic gradient created by glucose / icodextrin present in the PD fluid during the PD exchange is called Ultra filtration (UF).
