Abstract
Three patients on peritoneal dialysis (two on continuous ambulatory and one on intermittent) with severe ultrafiltration failure were treated with 2 capsules of Lecithin three times a day (containing of 1.08 g of phosphatidylcholine). Their ultrafiltration improved significantly to the point that their edema improved and were able to continue on peritoneal diaysis with fewer daily hypertonic exchange.Keywords
