Volume homeostasis is an important predictor of outcome in peritoneal dialysis. Because @entity6112 is driven by salt retention, maintenance of salt balance should be a concern to all nephrologists. An important factor in this is dietary salt restriction. This has long been neglected in peritoneal dialysis @entity1 , where it was considered that the continuous nature of the therapy and residual renal function would be sufficient to remove any extra salt load. In @entity1 with preserved renal function, diuresis and salt excretion can be enhanced by the application of high doses of loop diuretics. This practice seems not to have an impact on the further deterioration of renal function. Peritoneal salt removal can be enhanced using polyglucose. Also, the use of low @entity1372 -containing dialysate can be efficient. These solutions are, however, not commercially available, and they need higher concentrations of @entity413 to obtain an efficient osmolarity. It should always be considered that, due to @entity1372 sieving over the ultrasmall pores, fluid and salt removal are not always concordant.
