- BackgroundUltrafiltration failure (UFF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is due to altered peritoneal transport properties leading to reduced capacity to remove excess water. Here, with the aim to establish the role of local alterations of the two major transport barriers, peritoneal tissue and capillary wall, we investigate changes in overall peritoneal transport characteristics in UFF patients in relation to corresponding local alterations of peritoneal tissue and capillary wall transport properties.MethodsSix-hour dwell studies using 3.86% glucose solutions and radioisotopically labelled serum albumin added to dialysate as a volume marker were analysed in 31 continuous ambulatory PD patients, 20 with normal ultrafiltration (NUF) and 11 with UFF. For each patient, the physiologically based parameters were evaluated for both transport barriers using the spatially distributed approach based on the individual intraperitoneal profiles of volume and concentrations of glucose, sodium, urea and creatinine.ResultsUFF patients as compared with NUF patients had increased solute diffusivity in both barriers, peritoneal tissue and capillary wall, decreased tissue hydraulic conductivity and increased local lymphatic absorption and functional decrease in the fraction of the ultra-small pores. This resulted in altered distribution of fluid and solutes in the peritoneal tissue, and decreased penetration depths of fluid and solutes into the tissue in UFF patients.ConclusionsMathematical modelling using a spatially distributed approach for the description of clinical data suggests that alterations both in the capillary wall and in the tissue barrier contribute to UFF through their effect on transport and distribution of solutes and fluid within the tissue.

- The aim of this study was to simulate clinically observed intraperitoneal kinetics of dialysis fluid volume and solute concentrations during peritoneal dialysis. We were also interested in analyzing relationships between processes in the peritoneal cavity and processes occurring in the peritoneal tissue and microcirculation. A spatially distributed model was formulated for the combined description of volume and solute mass balances in the peritoneal cavity and flows across the interstitium and the capillary wall. Tissue local parameters were assumed dependent on the interstitial hydration and vasodilatation induced by glucose. The model was fitted to the average volume and solute concentration profiles from dwell studies in 40 clinically stable patients on chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis using a 3.86% glucose dialysis solution. The model was able to describe the clinical data with high accuracy. An increase in the local interstitial pressure and tissue hydration within the distance of 2.5 mm from the peritoneal surface of the tissue was observed. The penetration of glucose into the tissue and removal of urea, creatinine, and sodium from the tissue were restricted to a layer located within 2 mm from the peritoneal surface. The initial decline of sodium concentration (sodium dip) was observed not only in intraperitoneal fluid but also in the tissue. The distributed model can provide a precise description of the relationship between changes in the peritoneal tissue and intraperitoneal dialysate volume and solute concentration kinetics. Computer simulations suggest that only a thin layer of the tissue within 2–3 mm from the peritoneal surface participates in the exchange of fluid and small solutes between the intraperitoneal dialysate and blood.

- Clinical and animal studies suggest that peritoneal absorption of fluid and protein from dialysate to peritoneal tissue, and to blood and lymph circulation, occurs concomitantly with opposite flows of fluid and protein, i.e., from blood to dialysate. However, until now a theoretical explanation of this phenomenon has been lacking. A two-phase distributed model is proposed to explain the bidirectional, concomitant transport of fluid, albumin and glucose through the peritoneal transport system (PTS) during peritoneal dialysis. The interstitium of this tissue is described as an expandable two-phase structure with phase F (water-rich, colloid-poor region) and phase C (water-poor, colloid-rich region) with fluid and solute exchange between them. A low fraction of phase F is assumed in the intact tissue, which can be significantly increased under the influence of hydrostatic pressure and tissue hydration. The capillary wall is described using the three-pore model, and the conditions in the peritoneal cavity are assumed commencing 3 min after the infusion of glucose 3.86% dialysis fluid. Computer simulations demonstrate that peritoneal absorption of fluid into the tissue, which occurs via phase F at the rate of 1.8 ml/min, increases substantially the interstitial pressure and tissue hydration in both phases close to the peritoneal cavity, whereas the glucose-induced ultrafiltration from blood occurs via phase C at the rate of 15 ml/min. The proposed model delineating the phenomenon of concomitant bidirectional transport through PTS is based on a two-phase structure of the interstitium and provides results in agreement with clinical and experimental data.

- The process of water reabsorption from the peritoneal cavity into the surrounding tissue substantially decreases the net ultrafiltration in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The goal of this study was to propose a mathematical model based on data from clinical studies and animal experiments to describe the changes in absorption rate, interstitial hydrostatic pressure, and tissue hydration caused by increased intraperitoneal pressure after the initiation of peritoneal dialysis. The model describes water transport through a deformable, porous tissue after infusion of isotonic solution into the peritoneal cavity. Blood capillary and lymphatic vessels are assumed to be uniformly distributed within the tissue. Starling's law is applied for a description of fluid transport through the capillary wall, and the transport within the interstitium is modeled by Darcy's law. Transport parameters such as interstitial fluid volume ratio, tissue hydraulic conductance, and lymphatic absorption in the tissue are dependent on local interstitial pressure. Numerical simulations show the strong dependence of fluid absorption and tissue hydration on the values of intraperitoneal pressure. Our results predict that in the steady state only ∼20–40% of the fluid that flows into the tissue from the peritoneal cavity is absorbed by the lymphatics situated in the tissue, whereas the larger (60–80%) part of the fluid is absorbed by the blood capillaries.

- Water removal which is a key treatment goal of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) can be assessed cycle-by-cycle using remote patient monitoring (RPM). We analysed ultrafiltration patterns during night APD following a dry day (APDDD; no daytime fluid exchange) or wet day (APDWD; daytime exchange). Ultrafiltration for each APD exchange were recorded for 16 days using RPM in 14 patients. The distributed model of fluid and solute transport was applied to simulate APD and to explore the impact of changes in peritoneal tissue hydration on ultrafiltration. We found lower ultrafiltration (mL, median [first quartile, third quartile]) during first and second vs. consecutive exchanges in APDDD (−61 [−148, 27], 170 [78, 228] vs. 213 [126, 275] mL; p < 0.001), but not in APDWD (81 [−8, 176], 81 [−4, 192] vs. 115 [4, 219] mL; NS). Simulations in a virtual patient showed that lower ultrafiltration (by 114 mL) was related to increased peritoneal tissue hydration caused by inflow of 187 mL of water during the first APDDD exchange. The observed phenomenon of lower ultrafiltration during initial exchanges of dialysis fluid in patients undergoing APDDD appears to be due to water inflow into the peritoneal tissue, re-establishing a state of increased hydration typical for peritoneal dialysis.

- Based on a distributed model of peritoneal transport, in the present report, a mathematical theory is presented to explain how the osmotic agent in the peritoneal dialysis solution that penetrates tissue induces osmotically driven flux out of the tissue. The relationships between phenomenological transport parameters (hydraulic permeability and reflection coefficient) and the respective specific transport parameters for the tissue and the capillary wall are separately described. Closed formulas for steady-state flux across the peritoneal surface and for hydrostatic pressure at the opposite surface are obtained using an approximate description of the concentration profile of the osmotic agent within the tissue by exponential function. A case of experimental study with mannitol as the osmotic agent in the rat abdominal wall is shown to be well described by our theory and computer simulations and to validate the applied approximations. Furthermore, clinical dialysis with glucose as the osmotic agent is analyzed, and the effective transport rates and parameters are derived from the description of the tissue and capillary wall.

- The transitory change of fluid and solute transport parameters occurring during the initial phase of a peritoneal dialysis dwell is a well-documented phenomenon; however, its physiological interpretation is rather hypothetical and has been disputed. Two different explanations were proposed: (1) the prevailing view—supported by several experimental and clinical studies—is that a vasodilatory effect of dialysis fluid affects the capillary surface area available for dialysis, and (2) a recently presented alternative explanation is that the molecular radius of glucose increases due to the high glucose concentration in fresh dialysis fluid and that this change affects peritoneal transport parameters. The experimental bases for both phenomena are discussed as well as the problem of the accuracy necessary for a satisfactory description of clinical data when the three-pore model of peritoneal transport is applied. We show that the correction for the change of transport parameters with dwell time provides a better fit with clinical data when applying the three-pore model. Our conclusion is in favor of the traditional interpretation namely that the transitory change of transport parameters with dwell time during peritoneal dialysis is primarily due to the vasodilatory effect of dialysis fluids.

- Fluid removal during peritoneal dialysis depends on modifiable factors such as tonicity of dialysis fluids and intrinsic characteristics of the peritoneal transport barrier and the osmotic agent—for example, osmotic conductance, ultrafiltration efficiency, and peritoneal fluid absorption. The latter parameters cannot be derived from tests of the small-solute transport rate. We here propose a simple test that may provide information about those parameters. Methods Volumes and glucose concentrations of drained dialysate obtained with 3 different combinations of glucose-based dialysis fluid (3 exchanges of 1.36% glucose during the day and 1 overnight exchange of either 1.36%, 2.27%, or 3.86% glucose) were measured in 83 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Linear regression analyses of daily net ultrafiltration in relation to the average dialysate-to-plasma concentration gradient of glucose allowed for an estimation of the osmotic conductance of glucose and the peritoneal fluid absorption rate, and net ultrafiltration in relation to glucose absorption allowed for an estimation of the ultrafiltration effectiveness of glucose. Results The osmotic conductance of glucose was 0.067 ± 0.042 (milliliters per minute divided by millimoles per milliliter), the ultrafiltration effectiveness of glucose was 16.77 ± 7.97 mL/g of absorbed glucose, and the peritoneal fluid absorption rate was 0.94 ± 0.97 mL/min (if estimated concomitantly with osmotic conductance) or 0.93 ± 0.75 mL/min (if estimated concomitantly with ultrafiltration effectiveness). These fluid transport parameters were independent of small-solute transport characteristics, but proportional to total body water estimated by bioimpedance. Conclusions By varying the glucose concentration in 1 of 4 daily exchanges, osmotic conductance, ultrafiltration efficiency, and peritoneal fluid absorption could be estimated in CAPD patients, yielding transport parameter values that were similar to those obtained by other, more sophisticated, methods.
