Measurement of peritoneal lymph flow in CAPD using different osmotic agents

Abstract:
No differences in lymphatic absorption ratio were observed using different osmotic agents (Glucose, Amino acid, glycorol). The differences in UF rate and intraperitoneal volumes during dialysis with these osmotic agents are soley dependent on the interactions between the osmotic agents (nature, strength) and the peritoneal membrane.
