Abstract
Sorbent regeneration of peritoneal dialysate has been shown to be feasible in experimental and preliminary clinical studies and provides a realistic basis for the optimization of dialysis therapy and the potential development of an ambulatory dialysis system. Peritoneal dialysis efficiency can be significantly enhanced by continuous dialysate flow techniques and the mass transfer of uremic solutes can be theoretically augmented by the increased dialysis time made possible by a wearable design. Further optimization of end stage renal failure therapy may be achieved by the combined use of various methods for blood purification.
