Abstract:
Buffer transport in peritoneal dialysis. The success of peritoneal dialysis as a robust modality of renal replacement therapy has invited a quest for ameliorations in its underlying technology aimed at enhancing patient satisfaction and preserving the central instrument of the therapy, namely the peritoneal membrane. The health and longevity of the membrane have motivated and continue to drive a series of iterative innovations in the composition, methods of production, and delivery of dialysis solutions. It is the purpose of this article to review aspects of these innovations pertaining to buffer composition in dialysis solutions and the peritoneal mechanisms of buffer transport.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
