[Transperitoneal transport of water and substances--between theory and practice].

The practical use of the own method of prediction of peritoneal dialysis adequacy, based on direct assessment of transperitoneal transport, has been presented in this study.

[Extended assessment of peritoneal transport kinetics of substances and water as an important element of integrated dialysis care].

Unlabelled: The concept of integrated dialysis care is based on the choice of the most optimal method of renal replacement therapy for particular patient in particular period of disease. In many cases peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the initial therapy. PD modalities and regimens are modified according to values of parameters of ultrafiltration and adequacy.

Single low doses of X rays inhibit the development of experimental tumor metastases and trigger the activities of NK cells in mice.

There is evidence indicating that low-level exposures to low- LET radiation may inhibit the development of tumors, but the mechanism of this effect is virtually unknown. In the present study, BALB/c mice were irradiated with single doses of 0.1 or 0.

Efficacy of automated peritoneal dialysis: from minimum to optimum.

The aim of the study was assessment of theoretical possibilities of the Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) optimization. The analysis of influence of dwells number modification and peritoneal transport character on Nightly Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (NIPD) efficacy and adequacy was performed. In the study the alternative method of theoretical foreseeing of peritoneal dialysis efficacy and adequacy was applied.

[Comparison of peritoneal transport of solutes and water during CAPD with glucose or amino acids solutions. Preliminary report].

The aim of the study was the comparison of peritoneal transport of solutes and water during dialysis with presently used 1.1% amino acid solution in relation to 1.36% glucose solution.

[Mathematical analysis of the possibilities of automated peritoneal dialysis optimization].

The aim of the study was assessment of theoretical possibilities of the Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) optimization. The analysis of influence of dwells number modification and peritoneal transport character on Nightly Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (NIPD) efficacy and adequacy was performed. 20 patients were included in the study.
