(en) Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the leading form of home-based dialysis therapy for patients with kidney failure. The efficiency of PD depends on its ability to remove excess of water and small uremic solutes from the organism, through fundamental mechanisms of osmosis and diffusive and convective transport across the peritoneal membrane.
