The investigators sterilized a peritoneal dialysis solution containing 33 mM
bicarbonate by using a Multipurpose System 10 machine (CGH
Medical). This
machine ultrafilters through four highly permeable polysulfone dialyzers. The
final product was stored aseptically in plastic bags of a Y-system for CAPD.
At pH 7.0 this solution was sterile and endotoxin free. They determined that
the pH of this stored solution was stable for 3 weeks. Six CAPD patients
underwent dialysis using above described solution for a week with no
complication. No peritonitis was observed in any patients during the study.
No bichemical alterations were observed during the study period. The study
demonstrated the feasibility of a simple and low cost method of preparing
bicarbonate based dialysis solution for CAPD.
