title: Peritoneal damage by peritoneal dialysis solutions.
abstract: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is a well-accepted treatment for end-stage renal disease, but its long-term success is limited. Peritoneal sclerosis is still one of the most important complications of long-term peritoneal dialysis and the low biocompatibility of peritoneal dialysis solutions plays a major role in the development of such sclerosis. In this review, we summarize recent experimental data about the biocompatibility of peritoneal dialysis solutions.
