Abstract
We investigated microwave heating in an effort to find a technique, which would allow the nursing staff and patients to choose the precise strength of solution they would use at the time of exchange. No patient showed any adverse effects related to the fluid heated in the microwave oven, and we did not detect any alterations in pH or biochemistry of the fluid. We concluded that heating the fluid in a microwave oven in the hospital environment represents a rapid, cheap and safe technique during the training period of patients on CAPD or IPD.Keywords
