Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Anatomy
  • Physiology

Context:

  • The peritoneum's potential as a biologic dialysis membrane has heightened interest in its structure and function.
  • Peritoneal dialysis (PD) relies heavily on the peritoneal membrane's integrity and properties.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the physiological structure of the peritoneum.
  • To explore how peritoneal dialysis impacts peritoneal structure and function.

Summary:

  • The peritoneum comprises mesothelium, interstitium, and blood/lymphatic capillaries, all crucial for its role in dialysis.
  • Dialysis processes are known to alter the structure and function of these peritoneal elements.
  • This article, the first of two parts, details the peritoneum's structure under normal and PD conditions.

Impact:

  • Enhanced understanding of peritoneal physiology can lead to more physiologic PD conditions.
  • Optimizing PD may reduce treatment complications.
  • Improving PD methods can increase the overall utility of this renal replacement therapy.
