Abstract:
The average free choline level was determined to be 14 M in peritoneal dialysates and 22 M in plasma of thirty patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Daily choline loss via dialysate averaged 129 moles with 32 moles choline lost per dwell. Daily choline loss via the dialysate was positively correlated with plasma choline concentrations. Choline levels in dialysate during CAPD exceed plasma levels of choline (9 M) in healthy individuals.
