Enhanced Ultrafiltration in Rabbits with Bicarbonate Glycylglycine Peritoneal Dialysis Solution

Abstract

It is concluded that the BiGG solution, which has a stable pH, 7.35, due to the potent buffering capacity of bicarbonate and glycylglycine, enhances peritoneal NUF by maintaining a higher osmotic gradient and retarding lymphatic absorption through an increase in PC concentration in the peritoneal cavity.
