“…We consider that repeated dwell studies with drainage might improve the understanding of changes in transperitoneal permeability during peritoneal dialysis [ 3 , 27 , 60 ]. The advantage of this model in relation to other peritoneal dialysis animal models is the ability to conduct peritoneal dialysis with fluid exchanges where the fluid drainage is conducive to effluent cell analysis and active substance concentration measurements [ 3 , 27 , 30 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 58 ]. It is of importance to evaluate, in a continuous fashion, transport across the membrane during the study and perform histopathological tissue assessment at the end of the experiment [ 38 , 40 , 42 ].…”
