title: Lessons from basic research for PD treatment.
abstract: Over the past 30 years, the focus of peritoneal dialysis research has changed from the technical issues related to the establishment of clinical peritoneal dialysis to complex problems of peritoneal membrane biology. Here, we present how these research topics developed, discuss their significance for clinical science, and outline future challenges for peritoneal dialysis research.
