Surgical Technique Using An Improvised Peritoneal Catheter In An Experimental Non-Uremic Rabbit Model Of Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

Experimental models have strongly contributed to the comprehension of the processes of peritoneal damage that take place during peritoneal dialysis treatment in human patients. A variety of peritoneal dialysis models have been developed, mostly using rats and rabbits.
