title: The kinetic analysis of sodium and fluid transport in peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: In the article the principles of kinetic (compartmental) analysis of fluid and solute transport in peritoneal dialysis have been presented. Using results from published studies it has been shown that convective transport plays a dominant role in sodium transport. In high transport groups of patients the mass of sodium removed was the lowest because of increased fluid absorption rate. The analysis of ultrafiltration capacity loss demonstrated that several phenomena contributed to this loss.
