Figure 1 Intraperitoneal fluid profiles during the 4-hour dwell. Transcapillary ultrafiltration (○), effective lymphatic absorption (▪), and the result of both, the net ultrafiltration (•). In the left panel, the profiles for the peritonitis patients. In the right panel, those of the long-term peritoneal dialysis patients. Asterisks mark the values that were significantly different for long-term patients compared to peritonitis patients.

Figure 2 D/P sodium corrected for diffusion, during the 4-hour dwell. The decrease in D/P sodium is the result of dilution of dialysate sodium, caused by free-water transport. Peritonitis patients showed a deeper dip (○), than those with long-term peritoneal dialysis (•). Asterisks mark the significant difference for long-term patients compared to peritonitis patients (P < 0.05). D/P, dialysate-to-plasma ratio.
