Abstract

Background: A recent study by Jeloka et al. (Perit Dial Int 2006; 26: 336-40) highlighted the high variability in maximum ultrafiltered volume (UFmax) and the corresponding dwell time (t(max)) obtained using 7.5% icodextrin solution. We aimed to pinpoint the possible sources of this phenomenon by simulating the icodextrin ultrafiltration (UF) profiles according to the three-pore model of peritoneal transport.
