Peritoneal ultrastructure

  • Chapter
Peritoneal dialysis

Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis was first attempted clinically by Ganter in 1923 [1]. Tenckhoff [2], Boen [3] and Mion [4] made peritoneal dialysis possible in chronic renal failure patients. Until 1976 there was little concern about the fate of the peritoneal membrane with chronic dialysis, since many patients treated with this method were at high risk for a short life span. In 1976, with the appearance of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [5] (CAPD), it became clear that many more patients could be treated with this method and for longer periods; therefore, the longevity of the peritoneal membrane became an important question. Changes in the peritoneum exposed to long-term peritoneal dialysis will be explored herein.
