The Effects of a Dialysis Solution with a Combination of Glycerol/Amino Acids/Dextrose on the Peritoneal Membrane in Chronic Renal Failure

Abstract

Both hypertonic dialysis solutions increased peritoneal solute transport. GLAD exposure was associated with the best preservation of peritoneal morphology. The results of GLAD were very similar to those of the bicarbonate/lactate-buffered solution without osmotic agents. Studies in humans are needed for further assessment of GLAD.
