Sorbent-Based Regenerative Peritoneal Dialysis System

摘要

A sorbent-based low volume recirculating peritoneal dialysate regeneration system developed by Organon Teknika Corp. has undergone initial clinical testing and currently has been successfully used by a single patient with end stage renal disease in the home setting for a period in excess of six months. This system permits an entire intermittent peritoneal dialysis to be conducted for periods up to 20 hours with only four liters of dialysate. Clinical and biochemical results are comparable to those obtained with standard intermittent peritoneal dialysis techniques. No episodes of infectious peritonitis have been encountered in more than 100 clinical dialyses.
