Abstract

This chapter begins by exploring the historical framework of the understanding of peritoneal dialysis adequacy. A survey of the evidence base is presented to explain the evolution of thought on the topic, with emphasis on the current appreciation of residual kidney function as an important contributor to peritoneal dialysis adequacy. It concludes with some practical recommendations related to preservation of residual kidney function as well as ways to enhance peritoneal adequacy by modifying the dialysis prescription.
