Summary

Icodextrin solutions show promise for peritoneal dialysis (PD). Further research is needed to explore icodextrin kinetics in continuous cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) and its use in early-start dialysis.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Icodextrin-based solutions have a decade-long research history and are available in Europe.
  • Numerous studies exist, but significant clinical research avenues for icodextrin in peritoneal dialysis (PD) remain unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight underexplored clinical research areas for icodextrin-based PD solutions.
  • To stimulate further investigation into icodextrin's application in specific PD modalities and patient populations.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review and perspective, not an experimental investigation.
  • It identifies key areas for future clinical research based on existing knowledge.

Main Results:

  • Specific research gaps identified include:
