Chlorpromazine added to the dialysate improved the ultrafiltration and increased peritoneal clearances of urea and inulin. These results were postulated to be due to the narrowed stagnant dialysate fluid layer by the surface-active property of chlorpromazine. The study suggested another way to improve large solute (possibly uremic toxin) transport by using substances that facilitate convective transport. Intraperitoneal chlorpromazine increased the peritoneal dialysis efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
