Abstract:

The future of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) greatly depends on its ability to provide optimal clearances and volume control, preserve peritoneal transport, maintain adequate peritoneal access, and offer flexibility of prescription at a reasonable and competitive cost. Each of these aspects are discussed in the light of recent technologic advances and clinical experiences in order to project a vision of the potential future of APD.
