title: [Three-pore model of trans-membrane mass transfer in peritoneal dialysis and its computer simulations].
abstract: The three-pore model is a lumped parameter mathematical model and was proposed to investigate the trans-membrane mass transfer in peritoneal dialysis. The model predicted trans-membrane transport of volume and solute reasonably well. We reviewed respectively the previous home and abroad research on three-pore model. The model's computer simulations in clinical application as well as its possible limitations were presented.
