The composition of peritoneal dialysis solutions to a great extent, determine their effectiveness and safety. Many of the factors that determine the bioincompatibility of peritoneal dialysis fluids have been recently identified. This knowledge is essential to modify the manufacturing processes and in the quest for more biocompatible solutions. A description of the available peritoneal dialysis fluids in the United States and a comparison of their formulations are provided. GOAL: To describe the similarities and differences in conventional and new peritoneal dialysis solutions in terms of biocompatibility, osmotic agents, and buffer bases. OBJECTIVES
