Setting up research in peritoneal dialysis.
Over the past 30 years, peritoneal dialysis (PD) not only developed into a valuable treatment modality, but also stimulated basic science research. Here, we summarize some of such PD-inspired studies that addressed more general aspects of immunology and pathology and helped us to appreciate the complexity of peritoneal biology.
