Title: Transcapillary ultrafiltration and lymphatic absorption during childhood continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Author: Schröder CH, Reddingius RE, van Dreumel JA, Theeuwes AG, Monnens LA. Journal: Nephrol Dial Transplant; 1991; 6(8):571-3. PubMed ID: 1956557. Abstract: Peritoneal fluid handling depends on a balance between transcapillary ultrafiltration and lymphatic absorption. Lymphatic absorption is reported to be greater in children than in adult continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. The present study provides data on peritoneal fluid kinetics in a group of 17 young children (0.4-13 years of age). Net transcapillary ultrafiltration and lymphatic absorption were not dependent on age or duration of treatment. No differences were established from normal values for adult patients reported in the literature.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
