Mechanisms of Crystalloid versus Colloid Osmosis across the Peritoneal Membrane

Conclusions These data cast light on the molecular mechanisms involved in colloid versus crystalloid osmosis and characterize novel osmotic agents. Dialysis solutions combining crystalloid and colloid particles may help restore fluid balance in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis.
