Abstract

Abstract An improved peritoneal dialysis solution and methods of administering same to a patient are provided. Pursuant to the present invention, the sodium concentration in the solution is decreased thus causing sodium to be transported from the circulation to the peritoneal cavity. This provides for an improved ultrafiltration profile for the same initial osmolality when compared to standard solutions. Also, the same ultrafiltration profile as standard solutions can be achieved with lower initial osmolalities.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 42 words
A peritoneal dialysis solution For providing a sustained osmotic gradient comprising: an osmotic agent including at least one polypeptide; and sodium in a concentration that is less than a sodium plasma concentration in a renal patient who is to receive the solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 42 words
A peritoneal dialysis solution For providing a sustained osmotic gradient comprising: an osmotic agent including at least one polypeptide; and sodium in a concentration that is less than a sodium plasma concentration in a renal patient who is to receive the solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The peritoneal dialysis solution of claim 1 wherein the solution has a total osmolality of 300 to about 500.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The peritoneal dialysis solution of claim 1 wherein the sodium comprises approximately 35 to about 125 (meq/L).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 69 words
The peritoneal dialysis solution of claim 1 wherein the osmotic agent has an osmolality of not more than 200 (mOsm/L) and the solution further comprises: 0.0 to about 4.0 (% w/v) dextrose; 0 to about 120 (mEq/L) sodium; 0 to about 100 (mEq/L) chloride; 0 to about 45 (mEq/L) lactate; 0 to about 45 (mEq/L) bicarbonate; 0.0 to about 4.0 (mEq/L) calcium; and 0.0 to about 4.0 (mEq/L) magnesium.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 43 words

Claim 7
Independent Claim 43 words
A method for providing peritoneal dialysis to a patient comprising the step of administering a solution including sodium and an osmotic agent including at least one polypeptide to a patient, the sodium level being less than a plasma sodium concentration of the patient.
