Patent ID: 6846299

Claim:
A method for a continuous recirculating peritoneal dialysis comprising i) infusing a peritoneal dialysis fluid in a peritoneal cavity, said fluid comprising albumin in an amount of about 20 to about 250 g/L, sodium ions in an amount of about 130 to about 140 mEq/L, magnesium ions in an amount of about 0.5 to about 2.0 mEq/L, calcium ions in an amount of about 3.0 to about 4.5 mEq/L, chloride ions in an amount of about 95 to about 110 mEq/L, and lactate ions in an amount of about 35 to about 40 mEq/L ii) sequentially draining the peritoneal dialysis fluid out of the peritoneal cavity, iii) cleansing the peritoneal dialysis fluid through an extracorporeal dialyzer, and iv) reinfusing the cleansed peritoneal fluid into the peritoneal cavity.
