title: Clinical significance and detection of individual differences and changes in transperitoneal transport.
abstract: A review is given on the pathophysiology of the transport of solutes and fluid during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Special attention is paid to the assessment of peritoneal permeability in individual patients, its inter- and intraindividual variability, the effect of systemic disease, some regulatory mechanisms, and alterations observed during long-term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
