Now that the efficiency of dialysis machines has reached the point that the limiting factors are those of the patient's body, scientists are engaging in physiological modeling to explore the limitations to fluid and solute removal from the patient. The six papers here discuss the removal of fluid and urea during hemodialysis, transport kinetics during peritoneal dialysis, the bioartificial renal tubule, a tissue engineering approach to percutaneous access for peritoneal dialysis, and genetic modification of the peritoneal membrane in tissue engineering in the peritoneal cavity.
