title: Composition of peritoneal dialysis solutions: potential hazards.
abstract: The ideal components of peritoneal dialysate and their ideal concentrations have yet to be defined. This article reviews the hazards inherent in present solutions and emphasises the dual needs for uniformity of approach to composition and for agreement on minimal international standards for solution quality control.
