Abstract
Description
Background of the invention
[0001] The present invention relates to peritoneal dialysis or renal replacement therapy, such as hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration. In particular, the invention relates to the preparation and storage of bicarbonate-based solutions for peritoneal dialysis and hemofiltration.
[0002] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional hemodialysis, other techniques such as peritoneal dialysis and hemofiltration have been developed. Peritoneal dialysis uses the patient's own peritoneum as a semipermeable membrane. As the inner membrane of the body cavity, the peritoneum can be used as a natural semi-permeable membrane due to the richness of a large number of blood vessels and capillaries.
[0003] During peritoneal dialysis, a catheter is used to introduce sterile dialysate into the peritoneal cavity. Solute exchange between dialysate and blood is achieved over a sufficiently long time. Fluid flow is achieved by forming an appropriate osmotic gradient...
