Short-term effects of bicarbonate/lactate-buffered and conventional lactate-buffered dialysis solutions on peritoneal ultrafiltration: a comparative crossover study

Abstract

This study shows that the daily UF with the P solution may be lower than with the D solution. The mechanism for this short-term and reversible effect that conceivably reflects differences in biocompatibility is not clear although our results implicate that the peritoneal fluid absorption rate may differ between the two solutions.
