Abstract:
A peritoneal dialysis solution comprising at least one cation;a chloride ion at a concentration lower than the total concentration of said cation; andat least one organic acid which maintains electrical neutrality of the dialysis solution depending on the concentration difference between the total cation concentration and the chloride ion concentration,wherein the concentration of said at least one organic acid satisfies the following relation:110.gtoreq.A+B+C+D+E+FA/60+B/50+C/40+D/30+E/20+F/10.gtoreq.1wherein A (mmol/l) is total concentration of the organic acid having 3 carbon atoms, B (mmol/l) is total concentration of the organic acid having 4 carbon atoms, C (mmol/l) is total concentration of the organic acid having 5 carbon atoms, D (mmol/l) is total concentration of the organic acid having 6 carbon atoms, E (mmol/l) is total concentration of the organic acid having 7 carbon atoms, and F (mmol/l) is total concentration of the organic acid having 8 to 13 carbon atoms, andwherein said dialysis solution does not contain galactose.
