Impact of different practice patterns on solute transport in peritoneal dialysis (2023)
Thesis
Brenna, I. (2023). Impact of different practice patterns on solute transport in peritoneal dialysis. (Thesis). Keele University

Long term peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with increased peritoneal solute transport rate (PSTR) and loss of ultrafiltration capacity [1,2], both reflecting acquired structural alterations of the peritoneal membrane. Peritoneal functional chan... Read More about Impact of different practice patterns on solute transport in peritoneal dialysis.
