Dialysate Markers of Peritoneal Tissue during Peritonitis and in Stable CAPD

Abstract

Dialysate concentrations of these substances can be used as markers for the effects of peritonitis on the peritoneum of CAPD patients in vivo. The similarity between the marker concentrations in the effluent after recovery from peritonitis and those in stable CAPD patients implies that complete peritoneal healing is likely to occur after uncomplicated peritonitis.
