Peritoneal dialysis adoption and technique survival is affected by limitations related to peritoneal membrane longevity and metabolic alterations. Indeed, almost all peritoneal dialysis fluids exploit glucose as an osmotic agent that rapidly diffuses across the peritoneal membrane, potentially resulting in metabolic abnormalities such as hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. Moreover, glucose-degradation products generated during heat sterilization, other than glucose itself, induce significant morphological and functional changes in the peritoneum leading to ultrafiltration failure.
